A line passes through the point (–1,–2) and is perpendicular to the line with the equation y= –x – 1. What's the equation of the line? Question 16 options:

A) 
y = x – 5

B) 
y = –x + 3

C) 
y = –x + 7

D) 
y = x – 1

D) y = x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need the general equation of point slope form:

(y - y0) = m(x - x0)

Where y0 is the y coordinate and x0 is the x coordinate and m is the slope.

For the line to be perpendicular, we need the slope to be the negated opposite of the other equation.  So the negated opposite of -1 is 1.

So our m = 1, y0 = -2, and x0 = -1.  Now let's plug this into the equation and reform the equation into slope-intercept form

(y - (-2)) = 1 (x - (-1))

y + 2 = 1 (x + 1)

y + 2 = x + 1

y = x - 1

So the equation of the line that goes through the point (-1,-2) and is perpendicular to the line y = -x -1, is y = x - 1.

B) y = -x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = -1

y = mx + b

-2 = -1(-1) + b

-3 = b

y = -x - 3

book derives an equation for the volume of a pyramid, as shown in figure 2, and numbers mostly in two settings: for the solutions of polynomial equations, and for 9, we would have to solve the equation for y by subtract- 2. the point (1,. 2) is the center of the circle whose equation is x2 y2. 2x. 4y p.w.c. davies.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
