Question

PLEASE HELP IM STUCK ONLY 3 MORE QUESTIJONS

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 9 ← is in slope- intercept form

with m = $\frac{1}{2}$

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} }$ = - 2

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (3, 2 ) into the partial equation

2 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 6 = 8

y = - 2x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular line
