Question

graph the line that passes through the point (0, -3) and is perpendicular to another line whose slope is 2

Answer 1

Answer:

 y = -1/2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line perpendicular to one with a slope of 2 will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 2, that is, -1/2. The given point is the y-intercept of the required line, so we can write its equation directly in slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope (-1/2), and b is the y-intercept (-3). Your line is ...

 y = -1/2x -3
