Solved: Find the equation of a line that passes through…

Here are the solutions to the questions:

Question 1:
Find the equation of a line that passes through $(6,6)$ and which is perpendicular to another line whose equation is $9x - 3y - 6 = 0$ .

Find the gradient of the given line $9x - 3y - 6 = 0$ .
Rearrange the equation into the slope-intercept form $y = mx + c$ :
$3y = 9x - 6$ $y = \frac{9x}{3} - \frac{6}{3}$ $y = 3x - 2$
The gradient of this line is $m_1 = 3$ .
Step 2

Find the equation of a line that passes through (6,6) and which is perpendicular to another line whose equation is 9x − 3y − 6 = 0.

Step-by-step solution
