Answer 1

2x

Explanation:

the 2x is the equation line because it is on the x axis that is what we need to know

Answer 2

If two lines are perpendicular, the slope of one of the lines is the negative reciprocal of the other. Since we know the slope for one of our lines,
`2`m lets find the other:

`m=- (1)/(2)`

Now, lets use the point-slope formula to complete the equation of our perpendicular line:

`y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1))`

`y-5=- (1)/(2) (x-2)`

`y-5=- (1)/(2)x+1`

`y=- (1)/(2) x+6`

We can conclude that our perpendicular line is
`y=- (1)/(2) x+6`
