Jax Andrews · Answer 1

y = - x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying the equation of our line;

y - 1 = (x + 2)

y = x + 3

The slope of our line is 1

The slope of the perpendicular line (s) must be - 1 (the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines = - 1)

The line whose slope is - 1 (from the choices) is the one whose equation is:

y = - x - 2
