Question

line j has an equation of y=-x+8. line k includes the point (1,-3) and is perpendicular to line j. what is the equation of line k?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point slope form:  (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

m = 1

Step 1:  Plug in

(y - (-3)) = 1(x - 1)

y + 3 - 3 = x - 1 - 3

y = x - 4

Answer:  y = x - 4
