Answer:

y=-x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The general slope-intercept equation of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b represents the y intercept. y and x are simply a point the line passes through. In this case, y=x-5, meaning m=1 and b=-5.

In order to find the perpendicular slope, we should take the current slope's <u>negative reciprocal</u>. We have:

-\frac{1}{1} =\\-1

Therefore, our perpendicular slope is -1. We now have equation:

y=-x+b

We can plug in the known values of the point (-1,4) to solve for b.

4=(-1)*(-1)+b\\4=1+b\\b=3

If we now put what we found together, we have equation

y=-x+3

CAN SOMEONE PLZzzz Plzzzz HELP!!!???
umka21 [38]
First plot the points. Let’s just use the first graph. When you have done that. Draw a triangle. Find the right angle and look at what line is across from that. That is the hypotenuse. That is the length that you are trying to find. So you have to do your equation: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. A and B have to be the length of the other 2 lines(just count it). When you have done that repack you a and b with your #s. And what ever is equal to you c. Then that is you answer. (Im sorry if this was confusing)
