39° because a right angle adds up to 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
???????????????????????????????
We first convert the given equation of the line to slope-intercept form, giving us,
y = -2x - 5
The slope is -2 and the y-intercept is -5. For the new line, the slope should also be equal to -2 and the y-intercept be equal to 2. The equation is then equal to,
y = -2x + 2
The opposite of his negative number would be a positive number.
For example, If he picked -7, the opposite would be 7.
