Question

Write an equation in standard form for the line described.
through (5,9), perpendicular to 2x + y = 3

Answer 1

Answer:

y=(1/2)x+13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=3

y=-2x+3 so the slope is -2

if another line is perpendicular to y=-2x+3, it's slope m is -(1/-2)=1/2

The line is : y-9=(1/2)(x-5)

y=(1/2)x+13/2
