Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
what is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2<em>x</em>+1 ?
Remember
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes are equal to -1)
The slope of the given line is m=-1/2
so
the opposite reciprocal is m=2
<em>Find the equation of the line in point slope form</em>

we have

substitute

<em>Convert to slope intercept form</em>

isolate the variable y



Yes they will be parallel. Now you try to solve it.

Answer: 4/45
Step-by-step explanation:
The "distance formula" an extension of the Pythagorean Theorem is:
d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 in this case:
d^2=(-8-7)^2+(-9--1)^2
d^2=(-15)^2+(-8)^2
d^2=15^2+8^2
d=√(15^2+8^2)
So the answer is 15^2+8^2
