Question 1169964: Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that satisfies each set of
conditions
Passes through (4, 2), perpendicular to y= - 2x + 3

Slope-intercept form: y = mx+b
The slope of the given line is -2, so the slope of a line perpendicular to that line is +1/2. So the equation you are looking for is
y = (1/2)x+b
To determine b and thus complete the equation, use the given point (4,2) to substitute 4 for x and 2 for y, then solve for b.
