Question

A line is perpendicular to y=1/2x-6 and intersects at the point (3, 2). What is the equation of this perpendicular line?

Answer 1

Explanation:

y = ½x-6

slope of line = ½

Slope of any perpendicular to the line = -2.

Equation for line of slope -2 that passes through (3,2):

y-2 = -2(x-3)

y = -2x + 8
