You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions.
Through (1/2, -2/5) perpendicular to the line 3x − 6y = 1
------
Find slope of given equation::
6y = 3x-1
y = (1/2)x-(1/6)
slope = 1/2
-----
Then slope of perpendicular line is -2
------
Form of answer:: y = mx + b
Substitute for x, y, and m; Solve for "b""
-2/5 = -2(1/2) + b
b = -2/5 +1
b = 3/5
----
Ans:: y = -2x + 3/5
