Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, -1) and perpendicular to y = x + 3.

Answer 1

Hint: The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the given line.

Answer 2

y = -2x - 7

y = -2x +5

y = 2x + 5

y = 2x - 7

i got b. is it right?

Answer 3

Weird. None of those answer choices include the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

The product of the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other is -1.
