Question

Write an equation of the line perpendicular to the line 3x - 6y = 12 and goes through the point (-8, 2) Hint: Convert the equation of the line above into Slope-Intercept form to be able to identify the slope of the line. Then take the negative reciprocal of that slope. Use the Point-Slope Formula. Lastly convert your final answer into Slope-Intercept form

Answer 1

y=1/2x -2. new slope will be -2

y-2=-2(x+8)
y = -2x -14
