Question

Write an equation for a line that is perpendicular to y=1/2x+6

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

General formula :

y=mx+c

m is the gradient

when finding when finding the perpendicular line of another line is will be the negative inverse of the gradient

The perpendicular line will have a gradient of -2 (the negative inverse of 1/2)

so

the line perpendicular to the equation y=1/2x+6

is y= -2x+6
