Question

Write down equation of the line perpendicular to 3 x + 8 y = 12 and passing through the point (-1,-2)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line perpendicular to 3x+8y=12 is

8x-3y=k

As the line passes through the point (-1,-2),

so 8(-1)-3(-2)=k

=> -8+6=k

=> k=-2

So the equation of line is 8x-3y=-2

or 8x-3y+2=0.

hope you got it.
