Question 530119
What is the equation of the line in slope–intercept form that passes through the point (0, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2x – 6?
------
The given line has a slope of "2".
Any line perpendicular to it must have slope = -1/2
---
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
3 = (-1/2)*0 + b
b = 3
----
Equation:
y = (-1/2)x + 3
