Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-4, -2) and perpendicular to y = -x + 6.

y = -x + 6

y = x - 6

y = -x - 2

y = x + 2

Answer 1

All of them at the same time?

Answer 2

so perpendicular means has the opposite resiprical slope,do u know how to find that?

Answer 3

That perpendicular.

Answer 4

Not accurate drawing by the way.

Answer 5

point slope form probably is the best here...according to your equation...the slope is -1..however you want perpendicular so engative reciprcocal is 1 plug it in the point slope equation

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

so
y - (-2) = 1(x- (-4))

so y+ 2 = x+4

equation of perpendicular line is

y = x + 2 in slope-intercept form

in general form...it's
x - y +2

doesnt make any difference
