The equation of line WX is 2x + y = −5. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that contains point (−1, −2)?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, The equation of line WX is 2x + y = −5.

It can be written as comparing it with slope-intercept form y=mx+c, where m is slope and c is y-intercept, we have

slope of WX = -2

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

So, (slope of WX) × (slope of perpendicular to WX)=-1

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and has slope m:

Equation of a line perpendicular to WX contains point (−1, −2) and has slope

Equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that contains point (−1, −2)
