Given :

Equation of line 1 , y = 2x .

A point (1 , 2) .

To Find :

The equation of the line L2 perpendicular to L1 passing through the point P = (1, 2) .

Solution :

Let , equation of line 2 is :

y = mx + c     .....eq 1 ( here , m is slope and c is a constant )

Now , we know when two lines are perpendicular product of their slope is -1 .

Slope of given line is 2 .

Therefore ,

2m=-1\\\\m=\dfrac{-1}{2}

Now putting value of m in equation 1 , we get :

y=\dfrac{-1}{2}x+c

Now , it is given that this point (1,2) satisfy the above equation .

So ,

2=\dfrac{-1}{2}(1)+c\\\\c=\dfrac{5}{2}

Putting value of c in above equation , we get :

y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\2y=-x+5

Therefore , the equation of the line L2 perpendicular to L1 passing through the point P = (1, 2) is 2y = -x +5 .

Hence , this is the required solution.

Find the equation of the graphed line and select the best answer from the choices provided.​
klemol [59]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept must be at -7, so that eliminates C.

Because of the direction of the line, the slope needs to be negative. This eliminates B.

The slope of the line is -7/6, so D is the correct answer.
