Answer:

\text{The equation of line with slope 2 and passing through the point (5, 6) is }y=2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of line QR is

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1

we have to find the equation of a line perpendicular to line QR in slope-intercept form that contains point (5, 6).

The slope-intercept form is

y=mx+c

Compare general equation with given equation.

m=-\frac{1}{2}

As we know the slope of perpendicular line of negative reciprocal of given line therefore, the slope of perpendicular to line QR is

m=2

The equation of line with slope m and passing through the point (x',y') is

y-y'=m(x-x')

Therefore, the equation of line with slope 2 and passing through the point (5, 6) is

y-6=2(x-5)

y-6=2x-10

y=2x-10+6

y=2x-4

which is required slope-intercept form of line perpendicular to line QR.

Any perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal slope. So your slope would be 2. The. You would have the equation : y=2x+b. You would then replace the coordinate (5,6) with x and y on your line to solve for b. Your equation would be : y=2x-4

Did you mean -1? If so your answer would be, there is no intercept with the y axis. The intercept with the x axis is at (1/2, 0)

Hello
<span>an equation for the line in​ point-slope form and general form is :
y = ax+b   a : </span>slope  ; the <span>Passing through (x' ; y')
</span>y' = ax'+b 
y-y' =a(x-x')      and : x' =2   y' = - 1
calculate a :
let :  y = ax+b .....(D)
   ....<span>3y-x=7</span>....(D') or  y = (1/3)x+7/3
.(D) perpendicular to(D') : slope (D) × slope (D') = -1 

 slope (D') = 1/3
slop(D)×(1/3) = -1
slope (D) = -3
equation for the line    :   y-y' =a(x-x') 
y+1 =(-3) (x-2)
