Which of the following equations represents a line that is perpendicular to the line 4x - 3y = 17?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given line: 4x − 3y = 17
y = (4/3)x − 17/3
Slope = 4/3
Slope of the perpendicular line = −3/4
Therefore, its general equation will be:
3x + 4y + c = 0, where c is a constant.
