Question

What is the equation of the line passing through (8, –6) and perpendicular to the line y = x – 2 in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

the slope of given line is m=1
so slope of required perpendicular line will be
m=-1 use point slope form
y-y0=m(x-x0)
y-(-6)=-1(x-8)
y+6=-x+8
y=-x+8-6
y=-x+2
