Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the given line
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
we have
(-2,5) and (-4,8)
substitute the values in the formula
step 2
Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)
so
----> slope of the given line
therefore
---> slope of the perpendicular line to the given line
step 2
Find the equation of the line in point slope form
we have
substitute
step 3
Convert to slope intercept form
isolate the variable y
