ghazi · Answer

since the line is perpendicular to the give line therefore slope of required line will be negative of inverse of given line's slope that is -1 now your equation of required line is y=-1*x+d...to find d substitute the given points (-1,-2)..you'll get d

Okay thank you:) !!! @ghazi

ghazi · Answer

or else you can write equation directly as y-(-2)= -1(x-(-1))
