Answer:
y = -3x
Explanation:
The slope formula gives the slope of the segment between the given points.
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (-3 -(-5))/(2 -(-4)) = 2/6 = 1/3
The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this, so is ...
m' = -1/(1/3) = -3
A perpendicular line is ...
y = -3x
