Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line. Write the answer in slope-intercept form.
(-6,8), y + 2 x = -13
--------------
y = -2x - 13 --> the slope is -2
The slope of lines perpendicular have a slope of +1/2, the negative inverse.
----------------------
Use y = mx+b and the point (-6,8)
8 = -2*(-6) + b
b = -4
--> y = (1/2)x - 4
