The question here states that we have a line that passes through the point negative 2 and negative 11 and is perpendicular to another line that passes through 1 1 ,000 and 5 1, rather.
00:13
So first of all, we need to find the slope of this line that passes through these two points, and we need to find the negative reciprocal in order to find the slope of the line that we want.
00:23
And from there, we can plug it back into the slope intercepts formula, and we can plug the points that we're given here in order to find the value of the equation that satisfies our conditions.
00:35
So first of all, the slope can be found by finding the change in y over the change in x, which can be therefore denoted as negative 1 minus 1 over 5 minus 1, which is the same thing, of course, is negative 2 over 4 or 1 half.

So this negative reciprocal as the line that we want is perpendicular to this line here, per se, is obviously going to be there for then two...
