Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (3,-1) and is perpendicular to the graph of x+4y=13

Sagot :

Equation 4x - y = 13 represents the line that passes through the point (3,-1) and is perpendicular to the graph of x+4y=13

According to the question,

Its given that

The required line is passing through (3, -1)

And is perpendicular to line x + 4y = 13

Let required line be (y-y') = m'(x - x') ----(1)

Where m' is slope of required line

The given line is  x + 4y = 13

Slope of this line be m =>

=> 4y = 13 - x

=> y = 13/4 - x/4

m = -1/4

You should know that if two lines are perpendicular to each other than the product of their slope is always -1

Therefore , m × m' = -1

=> -1/4 × m' = -1

Multiplying by -4

=> m' = 4

Substituting the value in equation (1)

=> (y - (-1)) = 4 ( x - 3)

=> y + 1 = 4x - 12

=> 4x - y = 13 is our required equation
