Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y+5=0
Answer:
2x + y + 5 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of line is x-2y = 14 and we need to find the equⁿ of line which passes through (-1,-3) and is perpendicular to given line.
- Find the slope of given line by converting it into slope intercept form.
=> x - 2y = 14
=> 2y = x - 14
=> y = x-14/2
=> y = x/2 - 7
- Comparing to y = mx + c ,
=> Slope (m) = 1/2 .
Now the slope of line perpendicular to it , will have a slope ,
=>[tex] m_{perp}[/tex] = -1/m
=>[tex] m_{perp}[/tex] = -1/½
=> [tex] m_{perp}[/tex] = -2
- Using point slope form ,
=> m = (y - y₁) / ( x - x₁)
=> -2 = { y - (-3) } / { x - (-1) }
=> -2 = y + 3/x + 1
=> -2(x + 1) = y + 3
=> -2x -2 = y + 3
=> y + 2x +3+2 = 0
=> 2x + y + 5 = 0
Hence the equation of line perpendicular to it is 2x + y + 5 = 0 .
