Question

Consider the line L defined by
y= 1/2x + 1
the line that is perpendicular to L and passes through the point ( 3,0) can be written in slope intercept form as y=? x+ ?

Answer 1

slope of perpendicular line = -2

for perpendicular line to given (reusing variable y as you did):

y = -2x + b

at x =3, y = 0
0 = -2(3) + b
b = 6

so equation of line perpendicular to given is y = -2x + 6

Ans. y = -2x + b
