What is the equation of a line perpendicular to y=1/2x+5 and passes through the point (3,-2)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Katarina [22]3 years ago

Answer:

The Answer is: y = -2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation for a line:

y = 1/2x + 5

The given point: (3, -2)

The slope is 1/2

The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative inverse: -2

Use the point slope equation for a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-2) = -2(x - 3)

y + 2 = -2x + 6

Subtract 2 from each side:

y = -2x + 4

Eduardwww [97]

Pls see answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, our slope is -8. This means that every hour, the storm is getting closer to the town by 8 miles per hour.

Our y-intercept is 200, which means that its' initial position is 200 miles away from the town.

Hope this helped.

so,put x=0 to get y intercept

i.e, y =5×0 -1

i.e, y= <em><u>-</u></em><em><u>1</u></em>
