    Perpendicular has slope that multiplies to - 1

    y=mx+b

    m=slope

    y=-1x+11

    -1 times what=-1?

    what=1

    y=x+b

    find b

    given

    (-2,3)

    (x, y)

    inpus - 2 for x and 3 for y

    solve for b

    3=1 (-2) + b

    3=-2+b

    add 2 to both sides

    5=b

    y=x+5 is equation

    not listed, but the choices are all wrong
