Help, can't figure this one out.
Draw a line perpendicular to the line that contains the points
(1, 6) and (4, 4) and passes through the point (−2, 6).

OK..... can you tell me what the equation for the line is?
See if you can figure THAT out and repost on this thread for more help..... ![]()
What you need to do is realise that the line that goes through (1,6) and (4,4) has a gradient of -2/3 (using rise/run). Any line perpendicular to this will have a negative reciprocal gradient, as perpendicular lines' gradient multiply together to give -1. The gradient of the line will thus be 3/2. All you have to do is find the equation of the line that has a gradient of 3/2 and also passes through (-2,6), and sketch it.
