Question

The equation of line QR is y = negative 1 over 2x + 1. Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line QR in slope-intercept form that contains point (5, 6)

Answer 1

so the line is

\[y = \frac{-1}{2}x + 1\]

what's the slope of your line...?

Answer 2

idk the slope it didnt say it

Answer 3

ok.... the the slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept...

using the line you posted in the equation, what value do you think the slope has?
