Question

what’s the slope and y intercept of the loire that is perpendicular to y=-2x-5 and passes through the point (-3,-6)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope: ½

y-intercept: -4½

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: negative reciprocal of -2

-1/-2 = 1/2

y = ½x + c

-6 = ½(-3) + c

-6 = -3/2 + c

c = -6 + 3/2

c = -9/2 = -4½
