4y = -3x - 76
Explanations:The given equation is:
-4x + 3y = -15
Make y the subject of the formula to express the equation in the form
y = mx + c
[tex]\begin{gathered} -4x\text{ + 3y = -15} \\ 3y\text{ = 4x - 15} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{4}{3}x\text{ - }\frac{15}{3} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{4}{3}x\text{ - 5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Comparing the equation with y = mx + c
the slope, m = 4/3
the y-intercept, c = -5
The equation perpendicular to the equation y = mx + c is:
[tex]y-y_1\text{ = }\frac{-1}{m}(x-x_1)[/tex]The line passes through the point (-8, -13). That is, x₁ = -8, y₁ = -13
Substitute m = 4/3, x₁ = -8, y₁ = -13 into the equation above
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ - (-13) = }\frac{-1}{\frac{4}{3}}(x\text{ - (-8))} \\ y\text{ + 13 = }\frac{-3}{4}(x\text{ + 8)} \\ y\text{ + 13 = }\frac{-3}{4}x\text{ - 6} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{-3}{4}x\text{ - 6 - 13} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{-3}{4}x\text{ - 19} \\ 4y\text{ = -3x - }76 \end{gathered}[/tex]
