Question 896004: Plese help me solve this equation: Write an equation of a line that passes through (2,-3) and is perpendicular to y=2x+3. I have no idea on where to start on this problem Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I distrust anyone who says they have no idea.
Where were you in class? Where is your textbook?
Are there no examples?
What is the equation for any line ?
y=mx+b
What do you know about the slope of perpendicular lines?
y=2x+3
What is the slope of that line?
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to it?
