Write the equation of a line perpendicular to y=-12x+2 going
through (0, -1)
[tex]\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}\rule{50}{1}[/tex]
First, let's take a look at our provided information:-
- A line [tex]\text{y=-12x+2}[/tex]
- A point (0, -1)
- The line [tex]\text{y=-12x+2}[/tex] is perpendicular to the line that goes through (0, -1)
If two lines are perpendicular to each other, their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other.
So we take the slope of the given line, which is -12, change its sign from minus to plus:-
[tex]\Large\textit{12}[/tex]
And now, We flip the number over:-
[tex]\Large\text{$\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}$}[/tex]
Now that we've found the slope of the line, let's find its equation.
The first step is to write it in point-slope form as follows:-
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}[/tex]
Replace letters with numbers,
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{y-(-1)=\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}(x-0)}[/tex]
On simplification,
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{y+1=\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} (x-0)}[/tex]
On further simplification,
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{y+1=\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} x}[/tex]
Subtracting 1 on both sides,
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} x-1}[/tex]
