write in slope-intercept form the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line (0,0),y=1/2x-1
...
y=1/2x-1
compare with y = mx +b
slope m= 1/2
...
The perpendicular line will have slope -2
slope m = -2,(0,0),
plug these values in y = mx+b
0=0-b
b=0
...
y=-2x
