Question

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -1/7x + 2 and goes through H (-1, -5)

A.
y = 7x + 2
B.
y = -1/7x - 5
C.
y = 7x - 5
D.
y = -1/7x + 2

Answer 1

Since x = 3 is a vertical line, a horizontal line would be perpendicular to x = 3. Since the line must pass through (4,-1), the equation would be y = -1.
