I really need help on this.. i have no idea how to do this.. Help! :(

anonymous · Answer

so to get the equation of a perpindicular line, you would have to flip the slope and make it negative which would get you -1/2 for your slope.

anonymous · Answer

then you would use the slope to find out your y intercept which will equal 6

anonymous · Answer

So the answer would be B or C?

anonymous · Answer

So C is the answer?

anonymous · Answer

exactly!!

I got one more question if you don't mind?

anonymous · Answer

hit me!!

anonymous · Answer

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (5, 3).

anonymous · Answer

ok so when you have a line that is parrallel to the other the slope will stay the same!

anonymous · Answer

Hold on i have some answer choices

anonymous · Answer

A:y = 2x − 7 B: y =−1/2x − 2 C:y = 2x − 2 D:y =−1/2x -7

anonymous · Answer

it should be c!!
