In Exercise, find the equation of the line that passes through the given point and also satisfies the additional piece of information. Express your answer in slope-intercept form, if possible. (-23,23); perpendicular to the line 8x + 10y = -45.
Added by Travis M.
Step 1
First, we need to find the slope of the given line. To do this, we can rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. 8x + 10y = -45 10y = -8x - 45 y = (-8/10)x - 45/10 y = (-4/5)x - 9/2 So Show more…
