Question

as indicated below below write the equations of the line passing through through the point (-1,2) and perpendicular to the line who's equation is y=1/2x. complete your work in the space provided or upload a file that can display math symbols if your work requires it

Answer 1

y=-2x + b where b = the y intercept

2 = -2(-1) + b

2 = 2 + b

b=0

y=-2x is the equation of a line perpendicular to y=(1/2)x going through the point (-1,2)
