You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, 5) and perpendicular to the line y = 1/2 x – 7.
--------
If you mean y = (1/2)x – 7,
find the slope of the given line.
---
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse of the line's slope, = m
----------
Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point.
