Medal Fan for best response!!! Write an equation of a line perpendicular to y = x + 4 in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (-2, 6). y= x - 4 y= x + 6 y= -4x - 2 y= -4x +
y = -x
Line in slope intercept form is y = mx + c, where 'm' is slope and c is ' Y intercept. condition for perpendicular lines are m1.m2 = -1 where m1, m2 are the slope of perpendicular line. find the slope using above condition and substitute the given point to find the y intercept.
@TrojanPoem How abt u?
Something is wrong with me i got - before the y
So, is it a, b, c, or d???
Its C.
Retype the choices
y= 1/4x - 4 y= 1/4x + 6 y= -4x - 2 y= -4x + 1/4
Choices seem to be all wrong
Yeah
Are these the choices? A) \[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x-4\] B)\[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x+6\] C) y= -4x - 2 D) y= -4x + 1/4
Ya...:)
None of the slope of the lines given in the choices satisfies the perpendicularity condition
Soooooooo.......
Recheck the question.
wait what are you looking for?
He is looking for the equation of the line which is prep to the one given.
