Question

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to y= 2x+ 2 that passes through the point (-1, -7).

Answer 1

all work is shown and pictured

Answer 2

Answer: The equation perpendicular to the line is y=-1/2x-15/2

Step-by-step explanation: Perpendicular lines have the gradients that have a product of -.

We are given the gradient of 2 the required gradient is-1/2

The equation is y=mx+c

-7=-1/2(-1)+c

c= -15/2

y= -1/2x-15/2
