IMPORTANT LINE RELATED EQUATIONS TO KNOW AND MEMORIZE

slope formula
m= slope/ gradiant -- same thing
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

standard formula
$$Ax+By=C$$

point-slope formula
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

slope-intercept formula
b= y-intercept -- in the form of (0,y)

$$y=mx+b$$

$$y=1/2x+2$$

You need to put your equation in slope intercept for by subtracting 2x from both sides.  Then take the negative reciprical of the slope -2, and add any y intercept for your new equation.

anonymous · Answer

first, convert your equation into slope intercept form

2nd, determine the slope of that line

now perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other, so find the slope of the perpendicular line

now it can be any random line, so you can choose any random y intercept value
