The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y = -4x -6
What is a linear equation?
A linear equation is in the form:
y = mx + b
Where y,x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the y intercept.
Two lines are perpendicular of the product of the slope is -1
The line passes through the point (-5, -3) and (3, -1). Hence:
Slope = (-1 - (-3)) / (3 - (-5)) = 1/4
The slope of the line perpendicular to this line is -4 (-4 * 1/4 = -1).
The line passes through (-1, -2), hence:
y - (-2) = -4(x - (-1))
y + 2 = -4(x + 1)
y = -4x -6
The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y = -4x -6
