  • Slope of line in attachment=-1/2

Slope of the Perpendicular line=2

  • passes through (0,3)

Equation of line in point slope form


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y-3=2x


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=2x+3

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Explanation:

to find the perpendicular line then you have to find the negative reciprocal which is 2 and to get that you flip the fraction and change the sign so

(-1/2) → 2/1 or 2

the y-intercept coordinate is (0, 3) so the y-intercept is 3
