write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the equation

(4,2), y=1/2x+1
​

Sagot :

Answer:

y = -2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

So the given equation is y = 1/2x + 1 , the slope is 1/2. Therefore the perpendicular slope is -2.

Use slope-intercept form y = mx +b, substitute the slope = -2 and point (4, 2) into the slope-intercept form.  After that solve for b

y = mx + b

2 = -2(4) + b

2 = -8 + b

10 = b

The answer is y = -2x + 10
