Question

Find the equation of the line that is

perpendicular to the line y = 2x 5. (If you solve this I’ll make you brain list)

Answer 1

y=-1/2x+6

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = ½x + 6.

Explanation:

You get y = -2x +5, so the slope is –2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6. Thus, the equation of the line is y = ½x + 6.
