which of the following is the equation of a line that passes through the point (4, - 7)
and is perpendicular to y = - x + 3?

y=x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

a line is perpendicular when the slope is a negative reciprocal

the negative reciprocal of -1 is 1

that means that out equation should look something like this

y=x+b

then we use the given point to find b

-7=4+b

b=-11

our final equation is y=x-11

the answer is c hope it

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
