Question

write an equation of a line that passes through the point (2,0) and is perpendicular to the line y=-.5+3

Answer 1

y=mx+b
m=slope

perpendicular lines have slope that multiply to -1

y=0.5x+3
0.5 times what=-1
dvide boths sides by 0.5 aka times both sides by 2
what=-2


the equation of a line passing throug the point (x1,y1) and hving a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so
slope=-2
point is (2,0)

y-0=-2(x-2)
y=-2(x-2)
y=-2x+4

Answer 2

I don't really know the answer fully but I would like to help so find one line then go from there
