What is the equation of the line that passes through (2, 1) and is perpendicular to the graph of y = –x + 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok first we need the slope of the line. since its 'perp' it the reciprocal and it is 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now use the formula \[ y -y_{1}= m (x -x _{1})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where m is one because it is you new slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):
