Question 963925

what is the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 4) and is perpendicular to 6x + 3y = 2

A.) 1/3x + 1/2y = 2 

B.) x - 2y = -10 

C.) 2x - y = 10 

D.) 2x + 3y =6
<pre>Slope of line with equation, 6x + 3y = 2 is: - 2
Slope of line perpendicular to line with equation, 6x + 3y = 2 is: {{{1/2}}}
Using this slope, and the point, (- 2, 4) should give you the correct equation. 
Only one (1) equation has a slope, or m of {{{1/2}}}
