What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form perpendicular to y=1/2x-5 through (0,-2)
--------
The given equation has slope = 1/2
---
A perpendicular line will have slope = -2
----------------
Ans:: y = -2x - 2

perpendicular to y=1/2x-5
slope must be negative reciprocal of , meaning intended .
through (0,-2)
Plug directly into y=mx+b format.
You are being GIVEN the vertical axis intercept.
