thats your first line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now the slope of a perpendicular line to that would be -1/2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now put it into point-slope form which is \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where m is your slope, x1 is your x coordinate, and y1 is your y coordinate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from there solve for y
