What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x + y = 7 and passes through (-1, -1)?
-x + y = 2 -x – y = 2 x – y = 2 -x – y = 0 x + y = 0
perpendicular lines have opposite slope for example if your equation have slope a/b then perpendicular slope should be -b/a flip it and change sign
can you please tell me what is slope of line that you have
How do I find the slope
okay so slope intercept for equation look like this y = mx + b where m is slope which is always with x and b is y-intercept so this is your equation -x + y = 7 you have to solve for y so add x both side to solve for y
y = 7 + x
yes right so what is your slopw
do I plug -1 in for x?
nope there is slope in your equation just tell me what is that y = x + b
slope intercept for equation look like this y = mx + b where m is slope which is always with x and b is y-intercept just like this
I don't get it, so I don't plug in numberS?
no you don't have to because they didn't give you number to plug in
But like what do I do next than bc I don't understand
okay so y = x + b like i said before y = mx + b here m is SLOPE which is always with x what number is with x in your equation
y = xm + 7
there is \(\color{blue}{one}\) bec when we don't have any number at front of variable we can suppose that there is one okay you don't have to wirte m your slope is 1
okay so y = 1x + 7
yeah don't have to write 1 bec only x mean coefficient is one
okay so you need perpendicular equation so perpendicular slope should be opposite what is opposite of 1
-1
yes write
right***
so look at your answer choices and see which equation have negative slope
A. B. C.
yoou have to solve for y first
how
like you did -x + y = 7 how we solved this one look at the top
Is y gonna be a real number?
for abc you have to add x first
What where did abc come in
|dw:1418651452150:dw| for C after adding x you still have negative sign so divide by negative
