Question

Help Please

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Hint: the line perpendicular to y = mx + b has a slope of - 1/m

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

so for y = -x + 6 the slope is -1
so the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be ?

Answer 5

y = x - 6

Answer 6

well the slope would be 1 / (-(-1) = 1

so the line would be y = x + something

but why do you think its y = x + 6/

Answer 7

So D then

Answer 8

to find which equation is correct you need to plug in the coordinates of the point (-4,-2) and see if it fits

Answer 9

how do I do

Answer 10

that
