You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of the line passing through the point (2, 1) and perpendicular to the line 2y = 7 – x
----
Given line 2y = 7-x, y = (-1/2)x + (7/2)
given slope = -1/2
---
Slope of perpendicular line = 2
---------
Form of answer:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
1 = 2*2 + b
b = -3
------
Ans: y = 2x-3
