Problema Solution

Write the standard form of the equation of the line passing through the point (2,-2)and perpendicular to the line x-6y=-10

Answer provided by our tutors

The given line can be written as:

6y = x + 10

y = (1/6)x+10/6

Slope = 1/6

The perpendicular line would have slope =-6

Equation of the line is given as:

(y--2)=-6(x-2)

y+2 = -6x + 12

y = -6x + 10
