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

perpendicular tells you what about the slope?

Answer 2

Uhh....I don't know...Im really bad at math. I dont know what slope isss

Answer 3

slope is m in the equation of y=mx+b

Answer 4

y = mx + b
where:
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept.

Answer 5

Idk..I need hellpp.

Answer 6

I'm still confusedd.. Smhh aha

Answer 7

Perpendicular means the negative reciprocal of the slope,
for example 2, so it would be -1/2

Answer 8

y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (6, 3).
This line has a slope = 2
Thus a perpendicular line will have a slope = -1/2

Answer 9

So you can ELIMINATE choice A & D

Answer 10

Is it b or c?

Answer 11

Yes, of course if you ELIMINATE A and D, B and C are left, duh.

Answer 12

I know. I said is it b or c....Like which one is it..

Answer 13

the line must go through (6,3)

so plug in x = 6 and you *should* get y = 3

if you don't get y = 3, then (6,3) does NOT lie on the line

Answer 14

there you go @jim_thompson5910 got it :)

Answer 15

the answer is potato XD nah is C y=-0.5*6 + 6=-3+6=3
