Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (4.3)

and is PERPENDICULAR to the line y = 2x - 4.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Firtsly we know that the slopes must be perpendicular, which means the equations slope would be

`- (1)/(2)`

Now with the slope we can find the y-intercept, which is

`1`

Therefore the equation is

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