Answer:
The third choice is the one you want
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign. Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:
2x + y = -5 so
y = -2x - 5
The slope is -2. That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2. Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y. Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:

Getting rid of the double negatives gives us:

Distributing then gives us:

And finally solving for y (I am going to express the 2 on the left as 4/2 when I move it by subtraction in order to add those fractions):

And the final equation in slope-intercept form is:

Answer:
the Associative Property
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the ORDER doesn't change -- a, b, c on both sides. But the GROUPING changes.
Example:
3 + (4 + 5) = (3 + 4) + 5
3 + 9 = 7 + 5
12 = 12
Subtraction does NOT behave this way!
8 - (7 - 1) = 8 - 6 = 2
(8 - 7) - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0
It matters who you associate with! :-)
