What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 2 and passes
through the point (-2, 0)?


Sagot :

To find the equation of a perpendicular line, you first need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope given. The slope is -1/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be 3

Now we just need to find the y intercept using the point (3, 2) and you can plug the coordinates in and then solve for b. Let's see what that looks like.

y=3x+b

2=3*(3)+b

2=9+b

-7=b  So now we know the y-intercept and slope. We just put them together now

y=3x-7

Look at the broswer my friend you can do it
