Question

8. 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

`y+2=5(x+2)`

Explanation:

Slope is negative reciprocal when lines are perpendicular to each other

therefore m=5

Equation of line in point slope form is given as

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

`y+2=5(x+2)`
