How to make a linear equation perpendicular?

1 answer:

4 0

The slopes of 2 perpendicular lines with be reciprocals with the opposite sign.
For example if you have the equation y=-5x+2, your slope is -5. In a line perpendicular to y=-5x+2, your slope would be 1/5. As for finding b in y=mx+b for your second equation, I would need more specific information.

Hope it helps!

Write your answer with no spaces and any fraction with “/“

Alona [7]

Answer:

y= $\frac{1}{2}x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the slope, we would assume that it is 1/2 because when you use rise over run, the graph rises 1 unit up and shifts 2 units to the right. The -2 is where the y-intercept is (0, -2) based on the picture seen above. The slope is also positive where it is going up instead of going down.
