Question

Write the equation of the line that passes

through the point (-5,3) and is perpendicular to
the equation y = -x +2

Answer 1

y=x+8

Explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, so the slope of the line we need to find is 1.

`y-3=x+5 \\ \\ y=x+8`
