Thank you so very much for your time!!!!!
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First solve the equation for y: . That means the slope is as the equation is the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope. That also means that the slope of a line perpendicular to that one is . So the equation of the line for the perpendicular becomes . Using the ordered pair (0,2) gives us b=2, so our equation is now . The graph of both equations is:
