Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + b
We need to find the slope, m, and the y-intercept, b.
The line we need is perpendicular to the line 2x + y = 8.
<em>The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.</em>
We solve the given equation for y to find the slope of the given line.
2x + y = 8
y = -2x + 8
The given line has slope -2.
The negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.
Our line has slope, m = 1/2.
Now we have
y = 1/2 x + b
Now we use the given point, (-2, 3), for x and y, using x = -2, and y = 3, and we solve for b.
y = 1/2 x + b
3 = 1/2 * (-2) + b
3 = -1 + b
4 = b
b = 4
Now we have
y = 1/2 x + 4
