Answer:

The equation of the perpendicular line is y = -x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the form of the slope intercept for

- The slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of

  the line and b is the y-intercept

* Now lets revise the relation between the slopes of the

 perpendicular lines

- If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1

# Ex: If line L has slope m1 and line K has slope m2, and L ⊥ K

∴ m1 × m2 = -1

∴ m2 = -1/m1

* Now lets solve the problem

- We need to find the equation of the line which is perpendicular to

 the line whose equation is y = x + 3 and passes through point (2 , -4)

- Find the slope of the given equation

∵ y = x + 3

- In this form the slope is the coefficient of x

∴ m = 1

- Find the slope of the perpendicular line

∵ The slope of the perpendicular line = -1/m

∴ The slope of it = -1/1 = -1

- Write the equation of the line with the value of the slope

∴ y = -x + b

- To find the value of b substitute x , y in the equation by the x and

  y of the given point

∵ The line passes through point (2 , -4)

∵ y = -x + b

∴ -4 = -1(2) + b

∴ -4 = -2 + b ⇒ add 2 for both sides

∴ b = -2

- Write the equation with the value of b

∴ y = -x - 2

What is the meaning of this WW1 quote?
Ghella [55]
The Great War (WW1) killed many empires who had been around for hundreds of years. It introduced some very inhumane weapons such as gas, and was the 1st war when old tactics met new ones. Back then, a war on this scale has never been seen. 

It also gave birth to many new nations

The first part of the second line, she left the -5 there. The correct work and solution should be this:
5(2x-1)-3x=5x+9
<span><span>7x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>5x</span>+<span>9
</span></span>2x-5=9
2x=14
