Walking path across the park is represented by the equation y equals negative 2x -7. a new path will be built perpendicular to this path. the pats will intersect at the point -2, -3. identify the equation that represents the new path.

here the equation of path is -2x-7=y

let us find slope of this line by using y=mx+b

so slope m=-2

now new path is perpendicular to this path.

product of slopes of perpendiculars is -1

so slope of new path is 1/2

now it passes through (-2,-3) with slope 1/2

using y=mx+b to get value of b

-3=1/2(-2) +b

b=-2

plugging m=-1/2 and b=-2 in y=mx + b to get the final equation as

y=(-1/2) x -2 is the equation of new path
