Question

Which of the following is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=−18x−2 and goes through the point (-2,-3)?

Answer 1

This y= −18x−2 has slope equal -18

perpendicular line, slope is opposite and reciprocal so slope = 1 /18

equation:

y + 3 = 1/18( x + 2)

or

y = 1/18 x - 26/9
