Question

In slope-intercept form, what is the equation of a line perpendicular to y = 2x+ 7 that passes through the point (5,8)?

1
y=0.5x - 10.5
O 2
y = -0.5x + 10.5
3
y = 2x + 10.5
4
y = -2x - 10.5

Answer 1

2

y = -0.5x + 10.5

Explanation:

put a negative sign and 1 on top of the number next to the x to get the line thats perpendicular

2

y = -0.5x + 10.5
