Question

Write in slope-intercept form the equation of a line passing through the point and perpendicular to the given line.

(8, 2); y = -2x + 4

A. y = 1/2x -2
B. y = -2x + 18
C. y = 1/2x - 6
D. y -2 = 1/2(x - 8)

Answer 1

your answer would be A i just done this

Answer 2

A is your answer.

Explanation:

Perpendicular is opposite and reciprocol of the slope. Your slope is -2 so the opposite of that is positive 2, and the reciprocol is 1/2. When you graph that you should have a point at (8,2). y=1/2x -2
