What is the equation of the line passing through (2, –2) and perpendicular to the line y = –x + 3 in slope-intercept form?

Question

anonymous · Answer

(1) get the slope of the given equation of the line, then find its inverse considering that it's perpendicular. .

so it will be.   m=1-, the inverse is 1

therefor perpendicular slope is 1

(2) find equation of the line using the perpendicular slope and a point, using point-slope form. . .  can you do it now?
