Answer: y= 2x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To be able to write the equation of the line, you want to be able to find the slope first. To do so, rearrange the given equation x+2y=2 into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b

First subtract x from both side, which will give us 2y=2-x. Rearrange this to get 2y= -x+2. Then, divide both sides by 2. This will give us y= -1/2x+1

2. Now that you have the equation, look for the slope in the new equation; this will be the m value. In this case, the slope is -1/2. Since we are looking for a line that is perpendicular, we have to change the slope so that it is the opposite reciprocal. The opposite reciprocal of -1/2 is 2, so the slope of the equation we want to find is 2.

3. Next, all we have to do is plug the given ordered pair (-5, -6) and the slope that we found (m=2) into the point-slope equation, which is y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )

That will give us:

y+6 = 2(x+5)

4. Now, solve this equation.

y+6 = 2(x+5)  --> distribute the 2 inside the parentheses

y+6 = 2x + 10  --> subtract 6 from both sides

y= 2x +4

His work should have looked like this.

2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10                  When he added in both sides, he subtracted 10 from 10,
5x = 20                      instead of adding 10 from 10 to make 20.
x = 4
2(4) + y = 5
8 + y = 5

y = -3
