What is the equation of the line passing through the point (-2,-1) and perpendicular to the line y = 1/2x+5?

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is always the factor of x.

here : 1/2

it is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain angina amount of units when going from one point to another.

a perpendicular slope puts x and y upside-down and flips the sign.

here : -2/1 = -2

so, the equation looks like

y = -2x + b

b is the y-intercept, and we get this by putting the x and y coordinates of the given point into this equation and solve for b :

-1 = -2×-2 + b

-1 = 4 + b

b = -5

the full equation is therefore

y = -2x - 5
