4x – 5 = 3y
4x/3 – 5/3 = y
Hence the slope of 4x – 2y = 5 is 4/3.
Therefore L has slope –3/4.
First Degree Functions
More Facts on Slopes:
• Parallel lines have the same slope.
• Slopes of perpendicular lines are the negative
reciprocal of each other.
Example B. Find the equation of the line L that
passes through (2, –4) and is perpendicular to
4x – 3y = 5.
Solve for y to find the slope of 4x – 3y = 5
4x – 5 = 3y
4x/3 – 5/3 = y
Hence the slope of 4x – 2y = 5 is 4/3.
Therefore L has slope –3/4. So the equation of L is
First Degree Functions
y = (–3/4)(x – 2) + (–4) or y = –3x/4 – 5/2.
