Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation.

Question

(1,-6). X-2y=4

Answer 1

easiest way:

since the new line is to be perpendicular to
x - 2y = 4 ,

the new line must be 2x + y = c
plug in (-1,6) to find c

all done
