Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y=2x+6 and passing through (4,5)
2 answers
I know that perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other in terms of slope, so the slope will be -1/2 (-1/2 times 2 = -1)
(4, 5), m = -1/2.
Y = mx + b.
5 = (-1/2)4 + b,
b = 7.
Eq: Y = (-1/2)x + 7.
Y = mx + b.
5 = (-1/2)4 + b,
b = 7.
Eq: Y = (-1/2)x + 7.
