Write an equation for a perpendicular to y = - 2 x 2 and passing through the point (-4,-5)
Y=

Sagot :

Hello!

[tex]======================================[/tex]

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

This means we take a number, flop it over, and change its sign.

So the slope of the given line is -2

Flop it over:

-1/2

Change its sign:

1/2

Now, let's write the equation in point-slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-5)=1/2(x-(-4)

y+5=1/2(x+4)

y+5=1/2x+2

y=1/2x+2-5

[tex]\bold{y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x-3}}[/tex]
