Question

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = -x + 2 through the point (3, 5)?

Answer 1

First, solve 3x+2y=4 for y.

*Subtract 3x from both sides*

2y=-3x+4

*Divide both sides by 2*

y=-3/2x+2

Parallel lines have the same slope so the answer is y=-3/2x+7/2

Hope this helps!!
