Question 814440: write an equation in slope intercept form for each line described
passes through (-8,1),perpendicular to y = 2x - 17
please explain how you solved
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes
---
for the new line to be perpendicular to y = 2x - 17 its slope must be -1/2 = -0.5
---
first, use the point-slope form in order to find the y-intercept of the new line
plug this:
-8 1 -0.5
into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here:

Answer:
y-intercept = -3
the slope-intercept form of the equation is:
y = (-1/2)x - 3
