Question

6. What is an equation of the line that passes

through the point (2, 4) and is perpendicular to
the line whose equation is y = 2x + 1?

Answer 1

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is 2 2 .

Explanation:

The equation of a perpendicular line to y=2x+4 y = 2 x + 4 must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
