What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line that is given by the equation y = 2?

y = 2
x = 2
y = -1/2x
x = y - 2

First, put the equation of the line giveninto slope-intercept form by solving fory. You get y = 2x +5, so the slope is –2.Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of theline we want to find is 1/2. answer y=-1/2
