Answer:
y= -2x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).
Let's find the gradient of the given line.
Gradient of given line
The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.
(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1
Gradient of perpendicular bisector
= -1 ÷(½)
= -1(2)
= -2
Substitute m= -2 into the equation:
y= -2x +c
To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.
Midpoint of given line
Substituting (-3, -2) into the equation:
-2= -2(-3) +c
-2= 6 +c
c= -2 -6 <em>(</em><em>-</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>on both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
c= -8
Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -2x -8.

Step-by-step explanation:
straight lines are 180 degrees and you have 2 angles on a line. one of which is 72 and the other is unknown. It is solved for below.
your missing degree is 108.
i may not be right, if i'm not i am very sorry.
Answer:
y=x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form is y=mx+b
b is y intercept
so we plug the coordinate into the equation
-3=(0)+b
-3=b
so y intercept is -3
so we then write our equation which is,
y=x-3
