Question

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

Answer 1

y = -x + 6

y = x - 6

y = -x - 2

y = x + 2

Answer 2

the equation y=-x+6 is in slope intercept form
y=mx+c with slope m=-1
if equation is perpendicular to the given line then slope must be m=1
because the product of the slopes of two perpendicular line is -1 .
so the required equation must be
y=x+C
put x=-4 and y=-2 to find value of C
can you do this ?

Answer 3

yes! thanks!
