Write an equation of the line passing through point P that Is perpindicular to the given line. P (2,3) , y-4=-2 (x+3)

Answer 1

The slope of the given line is -2.

The slope of a line perpendicular to this line is 1/2.

The line with slope 1/2 through (2,3) is $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{(y-3)}{(x-2)}$ , i.e. x - 2 =2y - 6 or

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