I need help with "write in equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to to the given line line and and that passes through the given point.

Question

y=1/2x=5;(4,-3) How do you find a line that is perpendicular. Please and thank you! :)

Answer 1

Assuming a typo, and that you mean

y = 1/2 x + 5

the slope is 1/2. Now, using the point-slope form, we want the line

y+3 = 1/2 (x-4)
or
y = 1/2 x -5

A perpendicular line will have slope -1/(1/2) = -2.

use that as you will.
