The line equation in the slope-intercept form:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the line

Writing in the slope-intercept form

Therefore, the slope of the line = m = -2/3

We know that a line perpendicular to another line contains a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line, such as:

slope = m = -2/3

perpendicular slope = – 1/m

Given the point

(x₁, y₁) = (-2, -1)

Using the point-slope form of the line equation

where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting the perpendicular slope m = 3/2 and the point (-2, -1)

Writing in the slope-intercept form

subtract 1 from both sides

Thus, the line equation in the slope-intercept form:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
