Question

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y - 12 = 2x - 8 that passes through (2,3)

in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y= (-1/2)x+4

Explanation:

the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is found by

m1.m2= -1 m2= -1/2

the slope intercept form y-3= -1/2(x-2)

y= (-1/2)x+4
