Question

2. What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular
to y - 4 = (x + 2)

Answer 1

-x?

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y - 4 = (x + 2) would be y= x+6 in y=mx+b form.

2. I used a graphing calculator and found out that an equation that would be perpendicular to y= x+6 when graphed is y=-x-6.

3. The slope of y=-x-6 is -x.

4. -x
