1). Given that equation is y = 4x + 5

This equation compare to y = mx + c

Here slope m = 4

perpendicular slope is - m = -4

passes through the point is(x₁, y₁) = (0, -3)

Note : The perpendicular line equation is (y - y₁) = - m(x - x₁)

There fore

(y - (-3)) = - 4 (x - 0)

y + 3 = - 4x

Add 4x to each side

y + 3 + 4x = - 4x + 4x

Simplify

4x + y + 3 = 0

5). (1, 2)(3, 4)

Note : Line equation formula is (y - y₁) = [(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)](x - x₁)

(x₁, y₁) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂) = (3, 4)

The line equation is (y - 2) = [(4 - 2)/ (3 - 1)](x - 1)

Simplify

(y - 2) = [( 2 ) / ( 2) ](x - 1)

(y - 2) = (x - 1)

Add 2 to each side

y - 2 + 2 = x - 1 + 2

y = x + 1

Subtract y from each side.

y - y = x + 1 - y

0 = x - y + 1

There fore

x - y + 1 = 0

6). (1, 2)(3, -4)

Note : Line equation formula is (y - y₁) = [(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)](x - x₁)

(x₁, y₁) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂) = (3, -4)

The line equation is (y - 2) = [(- 4 - 2)/(3 -1)](x - 1)

Simplify

(y - 2) = [( -6 ) / ( 2)](x - 1)

(y - 2) = (-3) (x - 1)

(y - 2) = -3x + 3

Add 3x to each side

y - 2 + 3x = -3x + 3 + 3x

y - 2 + 3x = 3

Subtract 3 from each side.

y - 2 + 3x - 3 = 3 - 3

y + 3x - 5 = 0

There fore

3x + y -5 = 0

7). (-1, -2)(-6, -4)

Note : Line equation formula is (y - y₁) = [(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)](x - x₁)

(x₁, y₁) = (-1, -2) and (x₂, y₂) = (-6, -4)

The line equation is (y -(- 2)) = [(- 4 -(- 2))/(-6 -(-1))](x - (-1))

Simplify

(y + 2) = [( -4 + 2 ) / ( -6 + 1)](x + 1)

(y + 2) = [(-2) / (-5)] (x + 1)

(y + 2) = [2/5] (x + 1)

Multiply each side by 5.

5(y + 2) =  5 [2/5] (x + 1)

5y + 10 = 2 (x + 1)

5y + 10 = 2 x + 2

Subtract 5y from each side.

5y + 10 - 5y = 2 x + 2 - 5y

Simplify

10 = 2x - 5y + 2

Subtract 10 from each side.

10 - 10 = 2x - 5y + 2 - 10

0 = 2x - 5y -8

There fore

 2x - 5y - 8 = 0

2) The vertices are W(0, 0), H(8, 3) and Y(2, 9).

Median from the point W bisects HY at O.

Therefore midpoint point of HY is the bisecting point.

Therefore midpoint point of HY = ( (8+2)/2 , (3+9)/2 ) = (10/2, 12/2) = (5, 6).

The equation of the line WO is y - y₁ = [(y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )] (x - x₁ ) where W(0, 0) = (x₁, y₁) and O(5, 6) = (y₂, y₁)

y - 0 = [(6 - 0) / (5 - 0)] (x - 0)

y = 6/5 x

5y = 6x

6x - 5y = 0.

The equation of the median MO is 6x - 5y = 0.
