(i) x-axis
(ii) y-axis

Question

Find the equation of the line passing through (-2, 1) and perpendicular to 4x + 5y = 6.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Given, ⇒ 4x + 5y = 6 ⇒ 5y = -4x + 6 ⇒ y = Comparing above equations with y = mx + c we get, Slope (m₁) = Let slope of line perpendicular to 4x + 5y = 6 be m₂. Since, product of slopes of perpendicular lines be -1, By point-slope form, ⇒ y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ⇒ y - 1 = [x - (-2)] ⇒ 4(y - 1) = 5(x + 2) ⇒ 4y - 4 = 5x + 10 ⇒ 5x - 4y + 10 + 4 = 0 ⇒ 5x - 4y + 14 = 0. Hence, equation of the line passing through (-2, 1) and perpendicular to 4x + 5y = 6 is 5x - 4y + 14 = 0.
