-------------------------------------------------------------- Find Slope -------------------------------------------------------------- 4x + 2y = 2 2y= -4x + 2 y = -4/2 x + 2 y = -2x + 2
Slope = -2 Perpendicular slope = 1/2
-------------------------------------------------------------- Insert slope into the general equation y = mx + c -------------------------------------------------------------- y = 1/2x + c
-------------------------------------------------------------- Find y-intercept -------------------------------------------------------------- y = 1/2x + c at (5,6) 6 = 1/2 (5) + c 6 = 5/2 + c c = 6 - 5/2 c = 7/2
-------------------------------------------------------------- Insert y-intercept into y = 1/2 x + c -------------------------------------------------------------- y = 1/2 x + 7/2 2y = x + 7
-------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: 2y = x + 7 --------------------------------------------------------------
