Question

]Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, -1) and perpendicular to y = 1/2 x + 3


y = -2x - 7

y = -2x +5

y = 2x + 5

y = 2x - 7

Answer 1

y- y1= m1 (x- x1) -----------------> (1)

from the 2nd equation we can get m2

since both are perpendicular m1x m2 = -1

from that we can find m1

subtitute x1, y1 amd m1 to the formula to get the eqn...
