Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-2, 5) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y = 1/2x + 5?

Answer 1

Y=-0.5+4
The equation would be set up as 5y+-0.5(-2)+b reciprocal of 1/2 is 0.5 it’s negative because it’s perpendicular multiply 0.5 by -2 which is 1 subtract 1 from the 5y you have 4.
