Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 4) and perpendicular to y = -1/2x + 4. y = 2x + 8 y = 2x y = -2x - 8 y = -2x

OpenStudy (hoblos):

do you know the relation between the slopes of perpendicular lines ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are opposite reciprocals , right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simply a is correct

OpenStudy (hoblos):

correct so what would the slope of the perpendicular to y = -1/2x + 4 be ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2? So is it A?

OpenStudy (hoblos):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (hoblos):

any time :)
