Question 868075: If a graph is a line that is perpendicular to the line
g(x) = 2x − 2
and contains the point
(7, 1),
determine the linear function.

g(x) has slope 2.
A perpendicular line to g(x) will have slope -(1/2).
The perpendicular line is like ; and b is unknown.

h(x) is given to hold a point, (7,1).





The equation or FUNCTION for the requested line is
