Answer:

a = 1, b = -1 and c = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, when two lines are parallel then the product of their slope is -1,

Also, the slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c,

Where, m is the slope of the line,

x + y = 2  ⇒ y = -x + 2

Thus, the slope of the line x + y = 2 is -1,

Let [tex]m_1[/tex] is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to x + y = 2,

By the above statement,

[tex]m_1\times -1=-1\implies m_1 = 1[/tex]

Suppose y = x + c is the line perpendicular to the line x + y = 2,

According to the question,

y = x + c is passes through the point (1,-6),

⇒ -6 = 1 + c ⇒ -6 - 1 = c ⇒ c = -7

Hence, the equation of the required line is,

y = x - 7

⇒ x - y = 7

Compare this with standard form of line ax+by=c

We get, a = 1, b = -1 and c = 7

Answer:

The standard form of required line is x-y=7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a line is

[tex]ax+by=c[/tex]

Where, a,b,c are integers with no factor common to all three and a≥0.

The give equation of line is

[tex]x+y=2[/tex]

Here a=1 and b=1.

The slope of a standard line is

[tex]m=\frac{-a}{b}[/tex]

[tex]m_1=\frac{-1}{1}=-1[/tex]

The product of slops of two perpendicular lines is -1.

[tex]m_1\cdot m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex](-1)\cdot m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]m_2=1[/tex]

The slope of required line is 1.

The point slope form of a line is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Where, m is slope.

The slope of required line is 1 and it passes through the point (1,-6). So, the equation of required line is

[tex]y-(-6)=1(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y+6=x-1[/tex]

Add 1 on each side.

[tex]y+7=x[/tex]

Subtract y from both the sides.

[tex]7=x-y[/tex]

Therefore the standard form of required line is x-y=7.
