Find the value of n so that the line perpendicular to y=−15x − 6 passes through the points (n, −12) and (4, 8) .

Respuesta :

Answer:

n=-296

Steps to Equation:

  • the perpendicular slope to -15 is 1/15
  • plug what you have into y2-y1/x2-x1
  • 8 – -12/4-n
  • simplify so 20/4-n
  • then 20/4-n = 1/15
  • multiple 1 by 4-n and 15 by 20
  • 4-n=300
  • subtract 4 by both sides
  • -n=296
  • divide by negative 1 on both sides
  • n= -296
