Question 678815: Question:
Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the given conditions...
Perpendicular to the line y=2x+3; containing the point (-2,-4).
My answer was wrong, but here it is: y= -1/2x-4
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Using y=2x+3, the slope is
...
A perpendicular line will have the negative inverse (reciporcal) slope of
...
Using the point (-2,-4) and the determined slope, plug into the point-slope formula.
y - -4 = (x--2)
y + 4 = (x+2)
y + 4 =
...
y =
...
