Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4, 15) and is perpendicular to y = -2x-9.​

Answer 1

Answer:     $y=\frac{1}{2}x-13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The line is perpendicular to $y=-2x-9$

The slope of this equation is -2.

The slope of the line, perpendicular to this line will be :

$m \times -2=-1$

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

line equation is passing through the point (-4,15) will be :

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1} )$

$y-15=\frac{1}{2}(x+4)$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+17$............. Answer

Hpe it will help :)

Answer 2

Answer

y= 1/2x +17

Step-by-step explanation:

I just got it right.
