A pair of perpendicular lines intersect at the point (5,9). Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line that
also passes through the point (-4,4)

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the point (-4, 2) is y = -9·x/5 + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines = (5, 9)

The coordinates of a point on one of the two lines, line 1 = (-4, 4)

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line with slope, m = -1/m

Therefore, we have;

The slope, m₁, of the line 1 with the known point = (9 - 4)/(5 - (-4)) = 5/9

Therefore, the slope, m₂, of the line 2 perpendicular to the line that passes through the point (-4, 4) = -9/5

The equation of the line 2 is given as follows;

y - 9 = -9/5×(x - 5)

y - 9 = -9·x/5 + 9

y =  -9·x/5 + 9 + 9

y = -9·x/5 + 18

Therefore, the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the point (-4, 2) is y = -9·x/5 + 18.

lockers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 40, and 49 are open

i ran through it by the other answer is wrong

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !
