Question

Picture Down Below. What did I do wrong? I will award a medal.

Answer 1

did you get the equation of the perpendicular line wrong?

Answer 2

I only got the part that was circled right.

Answer 3

so the slope of the line going through the 2 points is correct

Answer 4

I'm not sure he wasn't very clear. Could we solve it from the beginnig?

Answer 5

you need the equation but you only put the slope

Answer 6

so we need to see if there is any y-intercept

Answer 7

\(y=-1x+b\)

Answer 8

we can use (-3,2)
\(2=-1*-3+b\\2=-3+b\\5=b\)

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

Thanks. :)

Answer 11

so y=-1x+5

Answer 12

now we need the perpendicular equation

Answer 13

so the slope will be the negative reciprocal
-1 = 1/1 = 1
so slope = 1

Answer 14

oh thats right I forgot about that.

Answer 15

Ok

Answer 16

so y=1x+b

Answer 17

use the ordered pair (-6,1)
\(1=1*-6+b\\1=-6+b\\7=b\\y=x+7\)

Answer 18

thats the equation for the perpendicular line

Answer 19

Thank you :)
