Question 284715: the line passes thru (4,-7) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is x-2y=3
write an equation in slope intercept form satisfying the given conditions

The first step in such a problem is to solve the given equation for y.
So subtract x from both sides.
Now divdie everything by -2.
The number attached to the x is the slope of this line, To get a line that is perpendicular you need to take the negative reciprocal which would be or just -2.
We now do m stands for slope so we have.
Now you plug in (4,-7), 4 for x and -7 for y to get the line that passes through that point and solve for b.
add 8 to both sides.
Going back to you will now put in the b you found.
And is your final answer.
