Write the equation of the line that passes through the origin and is perpendicular to the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (5,-3)
Added by Vanesa S.
Step 1
Given points: (-1, 4) and (5, -3) Slope formula: \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\) Substitute the coordinates: \(m = \frac{-3 - 4}{5 - (-1)} = \frac{-7}{6}\) ** Show more…
