Question

(Coordinate Geometry)
Please put the equation in standard form.

Containing A(5, 3) and perpendicular to a line with slope of -2

Answer 1

Gradient of line you are looking for is perpendicular to line of slope -2

Thus the gradient is 1/2.

Eqn. of line, y= mx +c.

Substitute m=1/2 and the point (5,3)

3 = (1/2) 5 +c
3 = 5/2 +c
c= 3- 5/2
c= 1/2

Eqn. of line, y= 1/2 x + 1/2
