Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We do not consider zero to be a positive or negative number. For each positive integer, there is a negative integer, and these integers are called opposites. For example, -3 is the opposite of 3, -21 is the opposite of 21, and 8 is the opposite of -8. ... If an integer is less than zero, we say that its sign is negative
Answer:
y = -x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope
y - 4 = (x - 6)
y - 4 = x - 6
y = x - 6 + 4
y = x - 2 (y = mx + C)
Slope m = 1
It is said that the line is perpendicular to a point ( -2, -2)
If two lines are perpendicular, their slope will be negative reciprocal
The negative reciprocal of slope = 1 is -1
Using a slope intercept form as requested by the question
y = mx + C
Inserting the values given
(-2, -2)
We are using point slope form
y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)
x_1 = -2
y_1 = -2
m = -1
Insert the values
y - ( -2)) = -1( x - (-2))
y + 2 = -1 ( x + 2)---- point slope form
But we are requested to give the answer in slope intercept form
y = mx + C
We have to open the bracket
y + 2 = -1(x + 2)
y + 2 = -x - 2
y = -x - 2 - 2
y = -x - 4 ( slope - intercept form)
I think it's C, I could be wrong though
