Question

Question 7: The red line has an equation of y = -1/2 x + 2. The blue line is perpendicular to the red line. Write the equation for the blue line. EXPLAIN PLS

Answer 1

Answer:y=2+2x

Explanation:

Perpendicular means the slope is the opposite reciprocal of the red line’s. Opposite reciprocal means that if the red line has a negative slope the blue line will have a positive one, and you flip the fraction of the red line from 1/2 to 2. The y intercept is at 2 so that’s why there is a +2
