Hi
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
equation of a line that is perpendiclar to y=2x+3 and passes through (3,4)
y = (-1/2)x + b |Using order pair Pt(3,4) to solve for b
4 = -3/2 + b
11/2 = b y = (-1/2)x + 11/2 green Line
