Finding Equation of a Perpendicular Line Through a Point
At about the 3:37 mark, the teacher says 3 times 9 is 24; he should have said 3 times 9 is 27. Thus, the final answer should be y=(3/5)x+12/5.
In this lesson, the instructor demonstrates how to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular and passes through a given point. To do this, the instructor explains that the slope of the new line will be the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the original line. Additionally, the point that the new line passes through must be accounted for in the equation. Using point-slope form, the instructor provides step-by-step instructions for finding the equation, and the transcript shows the process for a sample problem.
Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular and goes through a point
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
