Given two points finding the equation of the line perpendicular to it

The video tutorial explains how to write the equation of a line that passes through a given point and is perpendicular to another line. It covers the slope-intercept form and point-slope form, demonstrating how to calculate the slope and Y-intercept. The tutorial also explains the concept of perpendicular lines having opposite reciprocal slopes and how to use this to find the equation of a perpendicular line.

What is the general form of the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?

• Y = MX + B

• Y = M + BX

• Y = B + MX

• Y = X + MB

Which form is often used to find the slope when given two points?

• Slope-Intercept Form

• Point-Slope Form

• Standard Form

• Quadratic Form

How do you calculate the slope between two points (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2)?

• (X2 - X1) / (Y2 - Y1)

• (X1 - X2) / (Y1 - Y2)

• (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

• (Y1 - Y2) / (X1 - X2)

What is the next step after finding the slope to determine the equation of a line?

• Find the y-intercept

• Find the midpoint

• Find the x-intercept

• Find the distance

What is the y-intercept of a line if the equation is Y = -1/3X + 10/3?

• 3

• -1/3

• 10/3

• 0

What is the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines?

• They are equal

• They are negative reciprocals

• They are positive reciprocals

• They are both zero

If a line has a slope of -1/3, what is the slope of a line perpendicular to it?

• 1/3

• -3

• 3

• -1/3
