Answer:
y = -5x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the points (-5,-4) and (0,-3) plug them into this formula to get the slope.
Now plug in your points
Since you're slope is 1/5 the slope of the perpendicular line is going to be the totally opposite -5 is the slope of the perpendicular line.
Now plug in -5 and the point (-2,2) into y = mx + b to get the y-intercept
2 = -5(-2) + b (b represents the y-intercept)
2 = 10 + b (subtract 10 from both sides)
-8 = b
The perpendicular line looks like this y = -5x - 8
