following questions. You can give your answers in any format.
(a) What is the slope of h(x)?
(b) What is the slope of j(x), the line perpendicular to h(x)?
(c) What is the equation of j(x), the line perpendicular to h(x)? j(x) =

Answer 1

a) - 1

b) 1

c) y = x + 3

Explanation:

For c):

y = mx + b

4 = 1(1) + b

3 = b

y = x + 3
