Find an equation of a line through (2, 1) and perpendicular to −2x + 4y = 8

1 answer:

4 0

Hello:
the equation is : y = ax+b
the slope is a : a×(1/2) = -1......( perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/2) because : -2x+4y =8...y=(1/2)x+2 )

a = -2 y=(-2x+b
the line that passes through (2,1) :1 = -2(2)+b
b =5
 the equation is : y = -2x+5

$x^2+4x+1=0\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2x\cdot2+2^2}_{(x+2)^2}-2^2+1=0\\\\use\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\(x+2)^2-4+1=0\\\\(x+2)^2-3=0\\\\(x+2)^2=3\iff x+2=\sqrt3\ or\ x+2=-\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{x=\sqrt3-2\ or\ x=-2-\sqrt3}$
