Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to
y=-1x +11 that passes through (4, -8).
O A. y +8 = 2(x-4)
B. y - 4 = 2(x+8)
O C. y+8 = {(x-
-4)
O D. 7-8 = {(x + 4)

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have the exact opposite slope of the other equation.

So the slope will be x or 1x. Plug in

-8 = 1(4) + b (b represents y-intercept) like y=mx+b

-8 = 4 + b (subtract 4 on both sides)

-12 = b

The equation is y = x - 12

C

solve

y + 8 = x - 4 (subtract 8 on both sides)

y = x - 12
