Find the equation of the line with the given properties. Express the equation in general form or slope intercept form Perpendicular to the line 2x+y=15 contains the point (6,2)

Answer 1

2x + y = 15

y = -2x + 15

m = -2

Perpendicular lines have opposite, reciprocal slopes.

y - 2 = (1/2)(x - 6)

y - 2 = (1/2)x - 3

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