Perpendicular means opposite and reciprocal (in reference to the slope). 
The opposite of 1/2 is -1/2. The reciprocal of -1/2 is -2.

Now we know the slope we can plug the point they gave us into the X and Y positions to solve for b (in the point (2, 3) there is a X - Value (2) and a Y-value (3)

y= -2x+b
3= -2(2)+b
3= -4+b
1=b

Now we plug b and the slope in the generic y=mx+b equation:
y= -2x+1

Can someone answer this for me? I don’t understand how to solve it!
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

X=67

Step-by-step explanation:

x-22+135=180 (180 because that line is a straight line that was intersected and a straight line has a degree of 180)

x-22+135=180

x+113=180 (combine like terms)

x=67 (combine like terms again)
