Question

ALGEBRA 1, PLEASE HELP!! WILL BE AWARDED!
Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-4, -2) and perpendicular to y = -x + 6.

y = -x + 6
y = x - 6
y = -x - 2
y = x + 2

Answer 1

perpendicular slope is the opposite reciprocal of the lines slope
so the slope for the perpendicular line would be 1 because -1's opposite reciprocal would be 1

Answer 2

now we have a point and slope so we can put it in point slope then convert it to slope intercept

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

but i don't understand that.

Answer 5

what dont you understand?

Answer 6

how to solve the problem.

Answer 7

in point slope form here is the equation of the perpendicular line
y+2=1(x+4)
in slope intercept
it would be
y=x+2 <<<< that is your answer

Answer 8

thank you so much!!

Answer 9

could you help me with another one?

Answer 10

sure but remember to post each question separately, thanks

Answer 11

okay
