Question 1091851: Write an equation of the line containing the given point and perpendicular to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx+b
(8,9); 2x+y=7
The equation for the line is y=? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The line is y=-2x+7
a line perpendicular to that has slope +1/2, the negative reciprocal to -2
it goes through point (8, 9)
slope-intercept form'y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-9=(1/2)(x-8)
y-9=(1/2)x-4
y=(1/2)x+5
That contains the point (8, 9)
