Question

through (4,5), perpendicular to y=-1/2x-1

Answer 1

a line that would be perpendicular to that line and that goes through those two points would look like this: y=2x+3

Answer 2

how do i solve it?

Answer 3

like how did you get that answer?

Answer 4

well you know that to be perpendicular the slope must be the recipricle of the given line's slope

Answer 5

ohh so thats all you do?

Answer 6

no actually i typed the line wrong it would be y=2x-3

Answer 7

why -3?

Answer 8

so you have your line like this: y=2x
the you just put in the points and see what number you need to add to make it equal

Answer 9

so you do thhe reciprical first then solve?

Answer 10

yes you got it!!
