A linear relationship can be written as:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
If we know that the line passes through two points, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then we can write the slope as:
a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).
Also, for a given line:
y = m*x + s
A perpendicular line to that one must have a slope:
a = -(1/m)
And the intersection between two perpendicular lines forms four 90° angles.
So first, we need to find the slope of the line that passes through A and B.
A = (-3, 3)
B = (-1, -1)
Then the slope of the line is:
a = (-1 - 3)/(-1 - (-3)) = -4/2 = -2
a = -2
The slope of a perpendicular line should be:
slope = -(1/a) = -(1/-2) = 1/2
Then the perpendicular line will be something like:
y = (1/2)*x + b
To find the value of b, we can use the other restriction.
This line needs to pass through point C.
And we can see that point C is:
C = (1, 2)
This means that when x is equal to 1, y must be equal to 2.
Then replacing these in the above equation we get:
2 = (1/2)*1 + b
2 = 1/2 + b
2 - 1/2 = 4/2 - 1/2 = 3/2 = b
Then our equation is:
y = (1/2)*x+ 3/2
The graph of this line can be seen in the image below, the green line is the line that we found.
