Help Asap! I will give brainliest! 100 points! Say you are given the graph of the line y = -x.

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and goes through the point (8, 2).

slope of the line perpendicular to y = -x is 1

So, equation of line passing through (8,2) and slope = 1

(y-2) = 1*(x-8)

x-y = 6

HOPEFULLY IT WILL HELP YOU

y = x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = -1x

A line perpendicular to that line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -1. And here, the reciprocal of -1x is 1x.

So, let's find the equation of the line with slope 1x that is perpendicular goes through the point (8, 2).

y = mx + b

2 = 1(8) + b

2 = 8 + b

-8   -8

-6 = b

The equation of the line is y = x - 6
