Question

Write an equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to y = 2x - 5 and passes through the point (2, -3).

Answer 1

Answer:

y+3 = (-1/2)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a perpendicular line is -1/m where m is the slope of the original line, so your slope of the new equation is -1/2

point slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y+3 = (-1/2)(x-2)
