Question

Write the equation of a line that contains the point (1,5) and is perpendicular to the

line y = 2x - 6.

Answer 1

Slope of line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x - 6,

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

Line passes through (1,5).

Equation of line will be,

`y-5=m(x-1)\\y-5=-1/2{x-1}\\2y-10=-x+1\\2y=11-x`
