What would be the equation for this question?

Question

What would be the equation for line that passes through the point (-1,2) and is perpendicular to the line y= -2x+14.92?

Answer 1

slope of line perpendicular to the line y= -2x+14.92  is  1/2

 

equation of line in point slope form

 

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

 

2y -4 =x+1

 

2y= x + 5

 

y=( 1/2)x + 5/2
