The calculator will find the equation of the parallel/perpendicular line to the given line passing through the given point, with steps shown For drawing lines, use the graphing calculator. Finding the equation of a line perpendicular to another line is a simple process that can be completed in two different ways The first way is to solve for the equation of a line with one point and the equation of a line that runs perpendicular to it. The parallel line needs to have the same slope of 2 Y − y1 = 2 (x − x1) and then put in the point (5,4)
Y − 4 = 2 (x − 5) that is an answer But it might look better in y = mx + b form Let's expand 2 (x − 5) and then rearrange Y − 4 = 2x − 10 y = 2x − 6 To find the equation of a line perpendicular to a line through a given point algebraically, you can use what you know about finding the equation of a line given the slope and a point. The perpendicular line calculator is a simple online tool that helps you find the equation of a line that intersects another at a right angle (90°)
This algebra math video explains how to write the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line and passing through a given point in slope intercept form. Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (2, 6) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2 x + 3 First, find the slope of the line we are given Now, use this value to find the slope of the line we are looking for.
