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 = −one halfx + 3

y = −one halfx + 6

y = 2x + 3

Answer 1

a line perpendicular to 2x-y+2=0 will be of the form x+2y+k=0
in general ,
a line perpendicular to ax+by+c=0 will be of the form bx-ay+k=0
...knowing the point , K can be found and substituted :)

Answer 2

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1.

Answer 3

y = 2x + 2

y = mx + b is the general equation of a line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 4

The slope of y = 2x + 2 is 2.

What times 2 = -1? @tristynhart

Answer 5

I have to have some input from you, or I cannot help you knock out this problem.
