Question

Perpendicular to y = 1/2x + 2, passing through (1,3)

Answer 1

x + 2y -7 = 0

Explanation:

The given line to us is ,

=> y = 1/2x + 2

On comparing to slope intercept form of the line ,

• m = 1/2

As we know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. Hence ,

• m_perp = -2 .

Given point is (1,3) . Using point slope form ,

• x - 1 = -2( y -3)
• x -1 = -2y +6
• x +2y -1 -6 = 0
• x + 2y -7 = 0

Answer 2

y=-2x this is answer.
