Question

Q4: Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that is perpendicular to

the graph of each equation and passes through the given point. y = 2x - 3; (-5,3

Answer 1

y= −1/2x+ 1/2

Explanation:

Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1) to find the line perpendicular to y=2x−3.
