Consider the line y=9x-4 find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line

The slope is -1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

There are endless possibilities of equations, but if slope is what you're asking for, the slope of a line perpendicular to another is its opposite reciprocal, which is basically the number that when multiplied to the other slope is equivalent to -1. 9 * (-1/9) is -1, which means that it is the opposite reciprocal.

The slope is -1/9, there are endless amounts of equations that are perpendicular to the line, but the thing that they all have in common is a slope of -1/9.

picture below

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
