Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y - 12 = 2x – 8 that passes through the point (2, 3). (answer in slope-intercept form)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a Line

We can find the equation of a line by using two sets of data. It can be a pair of ordered pairs, or the slope and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept, or many other combinations of appropriate data.

We are given a line

And are required to find a line perpendicular to that line. Let's find the slope of the given line. Solving for y

The coefficient of the x is the slope

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of m, thus

We know the second line passes through (2,3). That is enough information to find the second equation:

Operating

Simplifying

That is the equation in slope-intercept form. Intercept: y=4

use this formula:

p(a\b) = p(a and b)/p(b).

take it from here.

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.
