find equation of the line in slope intercept form:
perpendicular to y=2x-3: (1,-2)

Question

anonymous · Answer

y+2=-1/2(x-1)

aroub · Answer

y=mx+b , m=-1/2 , (1,-2)
-2=-1/2(1)+b
-2=-1/2+b
1/2+2=b
1/2+4/2=b
5/2=b
the equation is y=-1/2x+5/2

anonymous · Answer

2y+4=-x+1
2y=-x-3

aroub why are u using slope intercept form????

aroub · Answer

bec. 2 things one: i love to , two ; the question wants in the slope intercept form

anonymous · Answer

its 2
