Answer:
y= -1/2 x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The line passes through point (0, 1) and is perpendicular to line with equation :
y=2x
Perpendicular lines are those that give -1 when the product of their slopes is calculated.
This means m₁ *m₂= -1
In this case, m₁=2, finding m₂ as;
m₁ * m₂ = -1
2 * m₂ = -1
m₂ = -1/2
Using point (0, 1),m₂ = -1/2, and imaginary line (x, y) then the equation of the line in slope-intercept form y= mx + b will be;
-1/2 = y-1/x-0
-1/2 x = y-1
1-1/2x = y
The equation will be ;
y= -1/2 x + 1
