Is the answer: 34/4?
Find the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the point (0,9) perpendicular to the graph of y=2x+1 1/3 (keep in fraction form)

Question

campbell_st · Answer

ok... so what's the slope of the given line

anonymous · Answer

(0,9)

campbell_st · Answer

nope thats a point... not a slope

the slope intercept form is 

y = mx + b 

m = slope and b = y- intercept... 

so your given line is, by the look of things is

y = 2x + 11/3 

so what do you think the slope is

anonymous · Answer

That Is 1 and one third

anonymous · Answer

2?

campbell_st · Answer

its 2

so the slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal 

which means the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/2 

the equation of the line is 

y = -1/2 x + b

substitute the point values, x= 0 and y = 9 into the equation to find b. 

then you'll have the equation of your line
