D.)y=-2x+1

aykayyy · Answer

put the equation into slope-intercept form... get the m from it. then use the formula  
y−y1=m(x−x1)
and solve and then put it into slope form

i did but i got c..@aykayyy

aykayyy · Answer

dont forget to take your m and do the opposite reciprocal... you do this because the lines are not parallel but perpendicular
