Angl is a square. The equation of line NG is Y= 1/2 X - 6. Find the equation of line LG in slope intercept form given that the coordinates of L are (-5,1)

Respuesta :

Answer: y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.

Adjacent sides are perpendicular.  [Each angle is 90°]

The equation of line NG is [tex]Y=\dfrac12 X-6[/tex].

By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)

slope =[tex]\dfrac12[/tex]

Let slope of LG be n, then

[tex]n\times \dfrac{1}{2}=-1[/tex] [Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]

[tex]\Rightarrow n=-2[/tex]

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-

[tex](y-b)=m(x-a)[/tex]

Equation of LG :

[tex](y-1)=-2(x-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=-2x-10\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-2x-9[/tex] [In intercept form]
