Question

What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (2,4) and is perpendicular to the line y = -2x + 4?

Answer 1

Do you have the Point-Slope Form? You'll need it.

Answer 2

no really confused with this

Answer 3

perpendicular line has slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given function. then substitute the point in y=mx+b

Answer 4

soo... -1/2

Answer 5

positive 1/2 because it is already -2

Answer 6

oohh alright next???...

Answer 7

substitute it (2,4) and the slope that you get in y=mx+b

Answer 8

4=1/2x + ?

Answer 9

solve for b
