Question

Write an equation of a line perpendicular to y = 1 over 2x − 5 in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (2, −7).

y= 1 over 2x − 7

y= 2x + 2

y= −2x − 5

y= −2x − 3

Answer 1

so... what do you think is the slope of say \(\bf y=\cfrac{1}{2}x-5?\)

Answer 2

im not sure @jdoe0001

Answer 3

can you see it now -> \(\bf y={\color{brown}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}}x-5 ?\)

Answer 4

1/2x? @jdoe0001

Answer 5

well.. just the number only, not the variable

Answer 6

1/2 @jdoe0001

Answer 7

so its a ? @jdoe0001
