Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the given line and is perpendicular to the given line.
left parenthesis negative 2 comma 6 right parenthesis semicolon space y equals 0.5 x minus 3

hintHint:

  • Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle

The correct answer is: y = -2x + 2.


    • We have to write an equation of a line that passes through the given line and is perpendicular to the given line.
    Step 1 of 1:
    We have to find a line passes through a point (-2, 6) and perpendicular to a line y = 0.5x - 3
    Since product of two perpendicular lines is equal to -1.
    So,

    m × 0.5 = -1
    m = -2
    Therefore the equation of the line will be

    y - 6 = -2(x + 2)
    y = -2x + 2.
