You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the equation of the line in slope–intercept form that passes through the point (0, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2x – 6?
------
The given line has a slope of "2".
Any line perpendicular to it must have slope = -1/2
---
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
3 = (-1/2)*0 + b
b = 3
----
Equation:
y = (-1/2)x + 3
