Question

Which of the following equations represents a line which is perpendicular to the line that passes through the points below? (-2,-6) (0,-2)
y=-2x+2
y=1/2x +2
y=-1/2x +2
y=2x+2

Answer 1

y = -1/2x + 2.

Answer 2

if you plug them in you get y = 2x - 2. so perpandicular means opposite reciprocal. so reciprocal of 2 is 1/2, and opposite means negative. so -1/2

Answer 3

oi m8 i trust you haha

Answer 4

a perpendicular line has the opposite reciprocal slope of the line that is perpendicuar to.

y=-1/2x +2

Answer 5

ahah
