Which equation represents a line perpendicular to x+y=0x + y = 0?

A

y=xy = x

B

y=xy = -x

C

y=x+1y = -x + 1

D

x+y=2x + y = 2

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Find slope.

  1. Original: y=xy = -x (Slope -1).
  2. Perp Slope: 1.
  3. Check Options: Option A (y=xy=x) has slope 1.

💡 Strategic Tip:y=xy=x and y=xy=-x are perpendicular.

Choice B is incorrect because parallel. Choice C is incorrect because parallel. Choice D is incorrect because parallel.
