Question 1060611: please help me solve this problem: determine the equation of the line that contains the point (1,0) and its PERPENDICULAR to the line. y= 1/2x (one half x, as a function not 1 divide 2) +17 Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use parentheses then you don't have to explain.
y=(1/2)x+17

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals,
So then using the point slope form,
