<h3>Answer:</h3>
y=1/2x
<h3>Solution:</h3>- The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other.
- The simplest way to determine a number's reciprocal is to flip it over, like so:
- Now, change the sign:
- So we have the <em>slope </em>of the line that's <em>perpendicular </em>to the given line.
- Now, let's find the line's equation.
- First, let's write it in Point-Slope Form:
- y-y1=m(x-x1)
- y-(-2)=1/2(x-4)
- y+2=1/2x-2 (Point slope)
- Now, convert to slope-intercept:
- y=1/2x+2-2
- y=1/2x
