Question

The equation of line WX is y = -2x - 5. Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that contains point (-1, -2).

Answer 1

perpendicular means that m1*m2=-1
m1=slope of the line WX=-2
m2=slope of the line that we want
we could solve for m2

Answer 2

okay, but whats the answer? sorry im running out of time on my online session and I really just have to do this... :/

Answer 3

its mult. choice, so these were the options
y = -2x
y = -1/2 x + 3/2
y= 1/2x -3/2
y=2x

Answer 4

y= 1/2x -3/2
