Question

If the lines y = 3x + 7 and 2y + px = 3 are perpendicular to each other, find the value of p.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Given lines, ⇒ y = 3x + 7 and 2y + px = 3 ⇒ y = 3x + 7 and 2y = -px + 3 ⇒ y = 3x + 7 and y = Comparing above equations with y = mx + c we get, Slope of 1st line = 3 Slope of 2nd line = Since, Product of slopes of perpendicular lines = -1. Hence, p = .
