Question 1141195: find the slope-intercept form for the line satisfying the conditions perpendicular to y=- 1/2 x+3, passing through the point (5,-1 )
Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

The given line has slope -1/2, so the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is 2.

Then the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (5,-1) is

y = mx+b
y = 2x+b

where b can be determined knowing that (x,y)=(5,-1) must satisfy the equation.
