Question

Which of the following equations represents a line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the points below?

Answer 1

perpendicular line slope:
Comparing to the (m) the slope of of a regular line, perpendicular is going to be -1/m
OR multiplicative inverse times -1.

Regular slope,
\[slope=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\]

Answer 2

\[\left( -2,-8\right)\] \[\left( 0,-2 \right)\] those are my points. here are the answer choices
\[y=-3x+5\]
\[y=3x+5\]
\[y=\left(\begin{matrix}1 \\ 3\end{matrix}\right)x+5\]
\[y=-\left(\begin{matrix}1 \\ 3\end{matrix}\right)x+5\]

Answer 3

\[\huge\color{blue}{\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}}\]\[\huge\color{blue}{\frac{(-8)-(-2)}{(-2)-(0)}}~~~->~~~\huge\color{blue}{\frac{-6}{-2}}\]\[\huge\color{blue}{\frac{3}{1}}~~~~same~~~as~~~3\]

Answer 4

Hold on....

Answer 5

\[\huge-1/\color{blue}{3}\]

Answer 6

\[D\]
