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

please help thank you

Question

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

please help thank you

do we need to explain?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, but first the student must explain his/her understanding of the question first. :)

so can't just give answers?

Perpendicular to y=-x+6
Let slope of required line is  m
So.  m×-1=-1
So.   m=1
Suppose eq. Of required line. 
       y=mx+c
 Satisfy it byby (-4,-2)
   You will get the value of  C
Then. Put value of  m,c  in supposed equation . you will get the answer.
