Answer:

hey, there!

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is a point (-6,8) through which a line passes. And is perpendicular to the line y = 2x-4

The equation for point (-6,8) is,

(y-8)= m1(x+6)...........(i)

and given equation is y = 2x-4............(ii)

Now, from equation (ii).

slope (m2)= 2 { as equation (ii) is in the form of y= mx+c where m is a slope}.

Now, For perpendicular,

m1×m2= -1

m1×2= -1

Therefore, m1 = -1/2.

Putting, the value of m1 in equation (i).

(y-8) = -1/2×(x+6)

2(y-8)= -1(x+6)

2y - 16 = -x -6

x+2y-10 = 0......... is the required equation.

Hope it helps...

Write an equation for each line in slope-intercept form.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

y = x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Looking at the graph, we can see that the line intersects the y-axis at y = 7. So 7 would be our y-intercept.

To find the slope, we would divide the rise of the line by the run. Or m = rise/run. From looking at the graph, we can see that for every 1 unit the line moves in the x-direction, the line moves in the y-direction by 1 unit. Therefore, the rise would be 1 and the run would be 1. 1/1 = 1 so the slope of the line would be 1.

Plugging in 7 for b and 1 for m into the equation for the slope-intercept form, we get:

y = x + 7

So that would be the equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.
