Question

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = x + 4 and passes through the point (-6, 3) ? help

Answer 1

first you need the slope of the perpendicular line
slope*slope_p=-1
the slope of the eq. is 1 then slope of perpendicular is -1

Answer 2

the eq. y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(3)=-1(x-(-6))
y-3=-x-6
y=-x-3
