With line y = -1x + 2, contains point (1/2,3/2) and slope -1, determine perpendicular slope and line containing the perp. bisector. Thanks.
do I keep the same b and just change the m around?

anonymous · Answer

(1/2,3/2) is on the line you're trying to find?

anonymous · Answer

no, on the line I got , I'm wondering if the line the is perpendicular to the first line contains those points too.

anonymous · Answer

*On the first line " y = -1x + 2", it contains those points.

anonymous · Answer

im pretty sure you have to find the reciprical first...

anonymous · Answer

I got it, I guess I do keep the same points because it is perpendicular, and I just use the reciprical of m

anonymous · Answer

yep
