Question

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y= 2x +1 that passes through the point (6,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello:

the equation is : y = ax+b

the slope is a : a×(2) = -1......( perpendicular to a line with a slope of 2 for : y=2x+1)

a =-1/2          y=(-1/2)x+b

the line that passes through (6, 2) : 2 = (-1/2)(6)+b

b = 5

the equation is :  y  = (-1/2)x+5
