Question

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -x + 4 and passes through

the point (-1, 3)?

Answer 1

Try y=x²+4

Explanation:

y=-x+4

when its perpendicular you change the -x to x. When you have a perpendicular equation flip the sign and if fraction flip the fraction as well but there isn't a fraction here so you just change the -x to a +x and then work out the problem like this

y-3=x(x- -1)

y-3=x²+1

+3 +3

__________

y=x²+4
