Question

Which equation represents the line that contains the point (-2, 9) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 6?

Answer 1

Y=-1/2x+8

perpendicular means slope is opposite reciprocal so it would be -1/2

y=-1/2x+b
Plug in points and solve for b
B=8

Answer 2

Y=-1/2x+8

perpendicular means slope is opposite reciprocal so it would be -1/2

y=-1/2x+b
Plug in points and solve for b
B=8
