Given line passes through the points (-4, -3) and( 4, 1) what is the equation in point slope form of the line that's perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (-4,3)

y= -2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the gradient of the first line

m=

m=

m=1/2

From this we can find the gradient of the perpendicular line, or the normal.

m1 × m2 = -1

Replace m1 with 1/2

1/2 × m2 = -1

m2= -2

Substitute values into

y-y1=m (x-x1)

y-3=-2 (x+4)

y-3=-2x -8

y=-2x-5

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,

step-by-step explanation:

a. is correct
