Question 827795: Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line but passing through the given point.
y=-x+3;(-2,-2) Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The slope a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of -1 which is 1.
Use y=mx+b as a template. m=1. for the point(-2,-2), x=-2,y=-2
-2=(1)(-2)+b
-2=-2+b
ads 2 to each side
0 = b
So our equation is y = (1)x + 0
or y=x
