Question

10. Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = -1/5x +9 and passes through the point (-2,-2).

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

- When a line is perpendicular, the slope becomes the opposite.

y = 5x + b

-2 = 5(-2) + b

-2 = -10 + b

8 = b
