Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the equation of the line given that the perpendicular from the origin meets it at the point (-2, 9), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates The coordinates of the point where the perpendicular meets the line are given as (-2, 9). The origin is (0, 0). ### Step 2: Find the slope of the perpendicular line The slope of the line from the origin (0, 0) to the point (-2, 9) can be calculated using the formula for the slope \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \). ...
