Question

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = -2x - 8 and contains the point (4, 4).

Answer 1

QUEG

Answer 2

a line that is perpendicular has a negative opposite slope of the original equation.
So if your equation \(y=-2x-8\), \(m=-2\)
The slope of the perpendicular line would be a negative reciprocal, so \(m=-(-\frac{1}{2})=2\) with this, and your points (4.4), use the point slope form. \[\large y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\] plug in (4,4) as your (x,y) and m=2 as your slope. \[\large y-4=2(x-4)\] I'll let you simplify and solve it :)

Answer 3

DINGO

Answer 4

Do you understand how to solve the rest, @lastkings ?

Answer 5

is it y=2x+4?

Answer 6

You're almost right, but it's y= 2x -8+4
