Question

Help please? Anyone

Answer 1

The answer is D.
First, the equation to find the perpendicular line to a given line is
`m_(2) = (-1)/(m_(1))`, where
`m_(2)` is the m value of the equation of the second line and
`m_(1)` is the m value of the equation of the first line.
Using this, we can find the slope of the equation of the perpendicular line:

`m_(2)` = -1/(1/4)= -4
So now our options are slimmed down to C and D. We can tell which equation is correct by substituting the given coordinates
C: -6+2≠-4(-2+6), so this option is eliminated
D: -6+6=-4(-2+2), so this is our answer as both sides equal 0
