Line ST and point V are shown on the graph. Line WW is to be drawn on the graph such that it is perpendicular to line ST. If the coordinates of point Ware (-1, y), what is the value of y? -5
2
3
-7

3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula of slope to find this answer.

The formula to find the slope is y2-y1/x2-x1.

The slope of line ST is 1/5: 2-0/5-(-5);   2/10=1/5

We know that for two lines to be perpendicular, they have to have reciprocal opposite slopes. For example, if the slope of a line is 2/1 then the slope of a line perpendicular is -1/2.

Therefore, the perpendicular line should have a slope of: 1/5>-5

To find which answer it is, follow the steps below:

y2-y1/x2-x1

plugin known values

-2-y1/0-(-1)

-2-y1/1

In order to make this -5, y1 needs to be 3

-2-3/1=-5

3 is the correct value

step-by-step explanation: step 3 should really go to step seven, but anyway never mind.
