Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, -1)and perpendicular to y = 1/2x + 3.

Answer 1

the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is (-1)
use this to get the slope of the line

Answer 2

soo x is -1?

Answer 3

m *(1/2) =-1

so m=?

Answer 4

y=-2x+5 this is what i got

Answer 5

the slope is -2 .. that is right
but when you apply the formula you get

y+1 = -2(x+3)
y+1 = -2x -6
y= -2x -5 so minus instead of plus

Answer 6

ohh ok thank you :D
