Explanation:
so, we calculate the perpendicular slope, and then we start with the point-slope form (since we were given a specific point of the line), and transform into the regular slope-intercept form.
the slope in
y = 2x + 2
is the factor of x : 2 or 2/1
the perpendicular slope is turning this upside down and flips the sign : -1/2
the point- slope form is
y - y1 = a(x - x1)
"a" being the slope, (x1, y1) being the point.
y - 9 = -1/2(x - -2)
y - 9 = (-1/2)x - 1
y = (-1/2)x + 8
