Greetings!

Answer:

2y = x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the slope of the current equation.

This is the number in front of the x.

Seeing as this is -2x, the slope of this line is -2

When finding the slope of a line perpendicular, you need to find the \frac{-1}{slope}

So, in this case it is:

\frac{-1}{-2}

The negatives cancel out which leave \frac{1}{2}

So the gradient is \frac{1}{2}


Now, to find the equation of a line, you need to use:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where ya and x1 are the values in the coordinates (2 , -2)

So y1  = -2, x1 = 2, and m is a half. Plug these values in:

y - - 2 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 2)

We need to get rid of the half so we multiply the whole equation by 2:

2y - - 4 = (x - 2)

The minus and the negative turn into a positive:

2y + 4 = x - 2

And now simply move the +4 over to the other side, making it a negative:

2y =  -2 - 4 + x

Simplify:

2y = x - 6

<h3>So the equation of the line is 2y = x - 6</h3>

ISTEP IS COMING UP AND IM NOT READY!!!

> and < with the lines under it mean that they can also be equal to the constant on the other side (greater/less than or equal to)

So x <= 3 can be anything less than 3 and 3.

*the = in this inequality is the equivalent of a line

Now vice versa.

x => 3 can be anything greater than 3 and 3.

Now for the dots.

The open dots in signs are (< and >).

Basically they start at that point they are on but don't include it.

So an open dot at 3 pointing to the left means that the value is greater than 3 but does not include 3.

The closed dots in signs are (<= and =>).

They start at the point and include it.

So a closed dot a 3 pointing to the left means that the value is greater than 3 and includes 3.

Arrows.

Arrows pointing to the left mean that the values are getting bigger.

Arrows pointing to the right mean that the values are getting smaller.

ie : An arrow pointing to the left with a starting point at 3 = 3 and anything bigger, such as 4.

ie : An arrow pointing to the right with a starting point at 3 = 3 and anything smaller, such as 2.

Solve for problems.

The main concept is isolate the variable.

This basically means make the variable be lonely ^^

Use +, -, *, and /

Ex : 6x + 2 > 3

First, we would subtract 2 from both sides.

6x > 1

Then, we would divide each side by 6, leaving the x alone.

x > 1/6

And voila! x is anything greater than 1/6 but it does not include 1/6.

Hope this helps! ^^
