Question

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = x + 4 and passes through the point (−6, 3). (2 points)
y = x − 1
y = x + 3
y = −x − 1
y = −x + 3

Answer 1

perpendicular means the product of the slopes is \(-1\)
since the slope of \(y=x+4\) is 1, your answer should have a slope of \(-1\) so forget the first two choices

Answer 2

do you know how to compute the equation for the line with slope \(-1\) through the point \((-6,3)\) ?
