Question

Find the equation of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is:       y = -2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Perpendicular to    y = (1/2)x  + 5

Point = (1, 8)

Formula

               (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Normal Slope  = 1/2

New slope because they are perpendicular = -2

Substitution

                   ( y - 8) = -2(x - 1)

                   y = -2x + 2 + 8

                   y = -2x + 10
