Question

I need help! Please include an explanation.

Answer 1

y = -2x - 2

Explanation:

To find a line which is perpendicular, the slope must be the opposite reciprocal.

We can rewrite the decimal as a fraction to clear up our equation, 0.5 is a half:

`y=(1)/(2)x+2`

Flip the reciprocal and change the sign, making it
`-(2)/(1)`

`y=-2x+2`

An equation parallel to this shown in the answer selection is:

`y=-2x-2`

So H is correct
