Question

a line is prepindicular to the line y=2x+3 and has the same x-intercept as x+3y+10=0. find the equation for this line in the y=mx+b form!

Answer 1

the slope is -1/2
the x int is (-10, 0)

Answer 2

so
y/ (x+10) = -1/2
2y= -10-x
y=-x/2 -5

Answer 3

since it is perpendicular to y=2x+3 , slope =-1/2,
then x-intercept for the second line is -10.
therefore the line is y=-1/2*(x+10)
y=-x/2 -5

Answer 4

ugh..

y = (-1/2)(x+10)+0 right?

Answer 5

thnx to you all:D
