linear and nonlinear inequalities

Question

wrote an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through (0,1) and is perpendicular to the line whos equation is y=2x

Answer 1

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/2

The y-intercepts of the perpendicular line is 1.

The equation of the perpendicular line is

y = (-1/2)x + 1

Answer 2

A line perpendicular to the line y = 2x has a slope of -1/2

So, the equation of the new perpendicular line is

y - 1 = -1/2(x - 0) or y = -(1/2)x + 1
