HELP ME PLZZ SOMEONE DONT JUST ANSWER RANOMELLY I REALLY NEED HELP !!!!

Frankenstein is definitely a classic and he can still manage to get a few scares, but the also classic Werewolf has seen better days. The Werewolf is often the target of scares and has an equation perpendicular to Frankenstein's. Frankenstein's equation is`y=x+5` and the Werewolf's equation passes through the point `\left(-1,-2\right).` What is the Werewolf's equation?

Answer 1

• y = - x - 3

Explanation:

Given

• Equation y = x + 5

• Perpendicular line that passes through the point (-1, -2)

Perpendicular line has negative reciprocal slope, so the slope is -1

The line in slope-intercept form is:

• y = -x + b

Using the given point, finding the y-intercept:

• -2 = -(-1) + b
• -2 = 1 + b
• b = -2 - 1
• b = -3

So the Werewolf's equation is:

• y = - x - 3
