Question

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (6, 3).

y = 2x + 6

y = −x + 3

y = −x + 6

y = 2x + 3

Answer 1

thanks!

Answer 2

perpendicular slope is the reverse reciprocal of 2x.

2 = 2/1
2rev = -1/2
slope = -1/2
y-intercept = 3
y= (-1/2)x+3

Answer 3

The reciprocal is just flipping a fraction and negating it.
