The equation of line which is perpendicular to the line FG is
y = -2x -3.
What is equation of line?
The equation of line is an algebraic form of representing the set of points, which together form a line in a coordinate system.
Formula for finding the equation of line from two points [tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} ) and (x_{2}, y_{2} )[/tex]
[tex](y -y_{1}) = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } (x-x_{1} )[/tex]
What is the slope of two perpendicular lines?
If [tex]m_{1}[/tex] be the slope of one line, then the slope of the perpendicular line is [tex]\frac{-1}{m_{1} }[/tex].
What is the slope intercept form of a line ?
The slope intercept form of the line is given by y = mx + b
Where, m is the slope of a line.
According to the given question
We have a line FG and the coordinates of points F and G are (-5,1) and (9,8) respectively.
Therefore, the slope of the line FG = [tex]\frac{8-1}{9+5}=\frac{7}{14} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
⇒ The slope of the line which is parallel to line FG is -2
Now, from the given option of the equation of line , y = -2x -3 has a slope of -2 .
Hence, the equation of line which is perpendicular to the line FG is
y = -2x -3.
