You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line. Write the answer in slope-intercept form.
(-6,8), y + 2 x = -13
--------------
y = -2x - 13 --> the slope is -2
The slope of lines perpendicular have a slope of +1/2, the negative inverse.
----------------------
Use y = mx+b and the point (-6,8)
8 = -2*(-6) + b
b = -4
--> y = (1/2)x - 4
