Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-3,11) and is perpendicular to the graph of y = x +1. -3 5​

Answer 1

Answer:
`y = -x+8`

Explanation:

The slope of y = x + 1.-35 is 1 (coefficient of x), then our line must have slope m that satisfy (1)(m)=-1, given that product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1, So m=-1. Now using the point-slope form equation, we would have:

`y-11=(-1)(x-(-3))\\y=-x-3+11\\y=-x+8`
