Question

What is the equation perpendicular to -x+y= 7 and passes through (-1,1)

Answer 1

Explanation:

First , let us rewrite the given equation into y= mx+b format

.y= -x +7

Slope is -1

Slope of the line perpendicular to the given equation is -(-1) ie., 1

Let us find the y-intercept by plugging in the values of x,y and slope into the equation y= Mx +b

1 = -1 +b

2 = b

Equation of the line perpendicular to the given equation and passing through (-1,1) is

y=x +2
