Answer:

y = x - 1 (third answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given we see immediately that the slope of this line is -1. The slope of a line perpendicular to this one is +1, which is the negative reciprocal of -1. The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. To find b, the y-intercept, we make the following substitutions: m = -1, y = -2, x = -2:

-2 = +1(-2) + b, or +1 = 2 + b, or b = -1

and so the desired equation is y = x - 1 (third answer choice)

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of this new line will be the same as the given one.

For a line to pass through the origin it needs to have a y intercept of 0, because the origin is the point (0,0).
