SOLUTION: write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of y=x+7 that passes thru (3,-2)

Question 693113: write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of y=x+7 that passes thru (3,-2)

Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Perpendicular lines have negative inverse/reciprocal slopes
y = x+7 has a slope of 1
A perpendicular line will have a slope of -1
...
Using slope of -1 and point (3, -2), apply the point-slope formula
y - -2 = -1(x-3)
y + 2 = -x + 3
y = -x + 3 - 2
