Question

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to

Answer 1

Answer:

A. y - 7 = -4(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Insert the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. Remember, in the Point-Slope Formula, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE term of what they really are. In addition, I recall that perpendicular lines have OPPOSITE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE [RECIPROCAL] rate of changes [slopes], so -4 really should be replaced with ¼, but if your assignment says otherwise, then this is the answer.
