Respuesta :
Perpendicular means slope is negative reciprocal, so m=-1
From here, plug in point (3, 4) to find b
The answer is
y=-x+7

Answer:
y = -x + 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
General form:-
y = mx + c where m = slope. So:
y = x + 2 has a slope of 1.
The line perpendicular to it has slope -1/1 = -1
To find the required line we use the point-slope form with m = -1, x1 = 3 and y1 = 4.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 4 = -1(x - 3)
y - 4 = -x + 3
y = -x + 7.
