Question 290776: Find an equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is perpendicular to y=2x-6. need help thanks.
Answer by Greenfinch(383) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Gradient of y = 2x - 6 is 2, so gradient of the perpendicular is -1/2
So equation is 2y + x = c
To go through (2,2) 2x2 + 2 = c, so c = 6
Equation is thus 2y = x = 6
