Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4, 15) and is perpendicular to y = -2x-9.​

Answer 1

y= 1/2x +17

Explanation:

I just got it right.

Answer 2

Answer:
`y=(1)/(2)x-13`

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The line is perpendicular to
`y=-2x-9`

The slope of this equation is -2.

The slope of the line, perpendicular to this line will be :

`m * -2=-1`

`m=(1)/(2)`

line equation is passing through the point (-4,15) will be :

`y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1) )`

`y-15=(1)/(2)(x+4)`

`y=(1)/(2)x+17`............. Answer

Hpe it will help :)
