Question

Line u has an equation of y = -x + 7. Line v is perpendicular to line u and passes through (-8, -1). What is the equation of line v? Weita thanation in​

Answer 1

Answer:

y - x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x + 7

the gradient (M1) is -1

the gradient of the perpendicular line v is given by

• M2 = -1/m1
• M2=-1/-1
• M2=1

to find the duration of the perpendicular line v use

y- y1 = m(x-x1)

y1=-1

x1 =-8

• y-(-1) =1[x-(-8)]
• y+1=x+8
• y-x=8-1
• y-x=7
