Question

METAL AND FAN! NEED HELP!
Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-4, -2) and perpendicular to y = -x + 6.

A) Y=-x+6
B) Y= x-6
C) Y= -x-2
D) Y= x+2
I THINK IT IS A! AM I correct???

Answer 1

@iGreen @andrewhaze @cxxonicole98 @MrNood @Sunnyo Please help

Answer 2

@TheEdwardsFamily @wasifa04 @HazelLuv99 @TeenWolfGirl @triciaal Please help :)

Answer 3

idk

Answer 4

But your a HUMANCALCULATOR! ;O @TheEdwardsFamily

Answer 5

LOL IDK EITHER

Answer 6

the slope of the given line is -1

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

perpendicular lines the product of the slope is -1 m1*m2 = -1 where m1 and m2 are the slopes
the line perpendicular to this will have a slope of -1/-1 = 1

Answer 9

Got it so far...

Answer 10

the line passes through the point (-4, -2)
y = mx + b
-2 = 1(-4) + b
b = 2
for any point (x, y)
y = x + 2

Answer 11

\[y=-x+6\]\[\implies m_{1}=-1\]Slope of the line which is perpendicular to a line is given by negative reciprocal of the slope of the line to which the line is perpendicular to
\[m_{2}=-\frac{1}{-1}=1\]
Now you are given the slope(1) and a point(-4,-2) through which the line is passing, using the point slope form to find the equation
\[y-y_{o}=m(x-x_{o})\]

Answer 12

OOOhhh I see! Thank you =) So the answer would be D

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

yeah

Answer 15

And @Nishant_Garg Point slope fourmula is \[y-y1=m(x-x1)\] Are those little circles a substitution for 1? xD

Answer 16

It's the same thing, just how you present it, you can use any variable
