Line K has a slope of -5. Line j is perpendicular to line k and passes through the point(5,9). Create the equation for line j,

Respuesta :

Since Line J is perpendicular that means that it will be the negative inverse of -5, which is 1/5. So we have to input the point into the slope and do some thinking into what the y-int. will be. 1/5x5= 1. 1+8=9. The equation for Line J is y=1/5x+8

The line is 5y = x + 40.

Line

A long thin scratch on the surface,

Given

[tex]m_{1} = -5 \\m_{2} = ?\\[/tex]

The line passes through (5,9)

How to get the line?

We know the equation of a line.

[tex]y=m_{2} x+c[/tex]

But when the line is perpendicular then their slope product is -1.

[tex]\begin{aligned} m_{1} m_{2} &=-1\\m_{2} (-5) &=-1\\m_{2} &= \dfrac{1}{5} \\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Then

[tex]\begin{aligned} y &=\dfrac{1}{5} x+c\\5y &= x+c\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

This line passes through (5,9)

[tex]\begin{aligned} 5(9) &= 5 +c\\45 &=5+c\\c &= 40\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Then, the line is 5y = x + 40.
