Hello!
Begin by finding the slope that would be perpendicular to the given equation.
A perpendicular line has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original. Therefore:
1/2 --> -2
Find the answer choice that contains a slope of -2 when rewritten in the form y = mx + b:
Choice 1:
x + 2y = 2
Move x to the other side:
2y = -x + 2
Divide both sides by 2:
y = -1/2x + 1. This choice is incorrect.
Choice 2:
x - 2y = -12
Move x to the other side:
-2y = -x - 12
Divide both sides by -2:
y = 1/2x + 6. This choice is incorrect.
Choice 3:
2x + y = 3
Move 2x to the other side:
y = -2x + 3. This contains a slope of -2, which is correct.
Choice 4:
y - 2x = -5
Move -2x to the opposite side:
y = 2x - 5. This contains a slope of positive 2, so it is incorrect.
The correct answer is 2x + y = 3.
