Answer:

y=-1/2x+7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

two lines are perpendicular if the product of the slopes is equal to -1

the slope for y=2x+4 is 2

2*x=-1

x=-1/2

the formula for the slope is

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

we know y1 and x1

(y+5)/(x+3)=-1/2

y+5=x+3/2

2y+10=x+3

2y=x-7

y=-1/2x+7/2

How does changing the value of m affect the graph of an equation in the form y=mx b?

polet [3.4K]

M represents the slope of a line, changing the slope to positive will make it an incline and changing it to negative will make it a decline. If the slope is a fraction, the smaller the numerator, the steeper the line, the larger the numerator, the less steep the line is.
