Answer:
y = 2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= 2, thus
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, 3) into the partial equation
3 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 6 = - 3
y = 2x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line
