Answer:
b. y = −0.5x + 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first we need to find the slope of line CD.
To do that we'll use the following formula,
We'll use the points (1,1) and (3,5)
So y2 is 5 y1 is 1 so 5-1 = 4
3-1 = 2
<u>Slope = 2x</u>
If the slope of line CD is 2x we can cross out choices C and D.
Two lines that are perpendicular to each other have reciprocal slopes,
meaning is the slope of line CD is 2 then its perpendicular lines slope should be -.5.
If the perpendicular line goes through point (-1,6), the y intercept would be, 5.5.
