Question

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (3,3) which Is perpendicular to the line y=-1/2 x+4

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular line will have slope - 1 / -1/2 = 2.

Using the point-slope form of the straight line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here m = 2 and (x1, y1) = (3, 3) so we have:

y -3 = 2(x - 3)

y = 2x - 6 + 3

y = 2x - 3.
