Question 28003: On an xy-coordinate plane, line "L" contains the points (0,0) and (1,2). If line "M" contains the point (0,0) and is perpendicular to line "L", what is an equation of line "M"? Thanks so much!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! On an xy-coordinate plane, line "L" contains the points (0,0) and (1,2). If line "M" contains the point (0,0) and is perpendicular to line "L", what is an equation of line "M"? Thanks so much!
SLOPE OF LINE L IS =(2-0)/(1-0)=2
SLOPE OF LINE PERPENDICULAR TO IT IS -1/2
EQN .OF LINE IS
Y-0=(-1/2)(X-0)
2Y+X=0
