Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-10,-3)

B(7,14)

C(5,12)

Need line CD perpendicular to AB through C.

Solution:

slope of AB, m1 = (yb-ya) / (xb-xa) = (14- -3) / (7- -10) = 17/17 = 1

Slope of CD, m2 = -1/m1 = -1 / 1 = -1

Line CD through C, using the point slope form

y-yc = m2(x-xc)

y-12 = -1 (x-5)

rearrange

y = -x + 5 + 12

y = -x + 17
