Find the equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the point (2,6) and is perpendicular to the line x + 2y =3. I need this solved in step by step details and explanations.
--------------
What you need is to learn how to do these.
---
Find the slope of x + 2y = 3
---
The slope of all lines perpendicular is the negative inverse of the slope of
x + 2y = 3
Call that slope m
-----------
Then use y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where (x1,y1) is the given point.
