Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-4, -2) and perpendicular to y = -x + 6.
A.) y = -x + 6 <--- I think
B.) y = x - 6
C.) y = -x - 2
D.) y = x + 2

Answer 1

perpendicular lines have opposite slope
for example if your slope is a/b then perpendicular slope suppose to be -b/a flip it and change sign

Answer 2

the answer you choose its same like your question so that mean A iis parallel to the equation

Answer 3

okay i get its c or d right ?

Answer 4

so plug point into the equation then solve

Answer 5

y = mx+b slope is 1 right so y = x + b now plug point in this equation ( -4 , -2)

Answer 6

did you understand ??

Answer 7

not really

Answer 8

ok so in order pair you have x and y values like this ( x , y)
and your equation is y = x + b now replace x and y by their values then solve for b

Answer 9

can you show your work so i can see where you did mitake ??

Answer 10

ohhhh its y = x + 2 my bad $_$

Answer 11

yesh :)

Answer 12

because

Answer 13

to solve for b you have to add 4 both side

Answer 14

then you should get positive 2

Answer 15

thank you for helping me !!!(:
