We are given
:
1) y = -2x +5 and the point (-3,4)
:
the line perpendicular to the line in 1 has a slope = negative reciprocal
:
slope = (1/2)
:
so far we have
:
y = (x/2) + b
:
now use the point in 1)
:
4 = (-3/2) + b
:
b = 4 + (3/2) = 11/2
:
*******************************************************************
slope-intercept form of the line perpendicular to the line in 1) is
:
y = (x/2) +(11/2)
:
the graph below shows equation 1 in red and equation 2 in green
