Question

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x+4y=-6 and passes through the point (2,5).

Answer 1

y=2x+1

Explanation:

Perpendicular equation has a negative inverse of the slope from the original equation. This basically mean you get the slope, flip the numerator and denominator, and flip the sign.

Once you get the slope for the perpendicular equation, you plug it into the point-slop formula and simply.
