What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = –x – 3? y = –x – 1 y = –x + 5 y = x + 1 y = x + 5

OpenStudy (aravindg):

first find the slope of line required

OpenStudy (aravindg):

-1 * slope=-1 find slope

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Once you get slope use slope point form and get equation of line
