Question

• What is the equation in slope-intercept

form of the line that passes through the
point (2, -2) and is perpendicular to the
line represented by y=x+2 ?
A y = 3x - 7
3 y = 8x +7
C y=-x-3
D y=-x + 3

Answer 1

Explanation:

perpendicular to y = x + 2. The slope here is 1. Perpendicular lines will have negative reciprocal slopes. Therefore, the slope we need is gonna be -1.

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -1

(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2

now we sub and find b, the y int

-2 = -1(2) + b

-2 = -2 + b

-2 + 2 = b

0 = b

y = -x <==== I am not getting any of ur answer choices.
