easiest way would be to find the line perpendicular to this line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as you know lines that are perpendicular cross at one specific point at 90 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve your equation for y should get you 2y=4-x y=2+(-1/2)x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is equal to (-1/2)x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in order for a line to be orthogonal or perpendicular to this other line, the slope must be the opposite reciprocal of the slope you have
