Question

Find the equation of the line that

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal gradients(slopes) so the slope of your new line would be 1/2. Then you use the point to find the new y-intercept

y=mx+b

2=$\frac{1}{2}$(8)+b

2=4+b

B=-2

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