Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (4, 5) and is perpendicular to the graph of y = 2x – 3.

Answer 1

Since it's perpendicular to y=2x-3 then the slope of the new line will be -1/2

then the equation in slope-point form is:

`(y-5)=-(1)/(2)(x-4)`

and solving for y, we have the equation in slope-intercept form:

`y=-(1)/(2)x+7`
