Question

Enter the equation of the line meeting the given conditions. Please put the equation in standard form.

Containing A(5, 3) and perpendicular to a line with slope of -2

anonymous · Answer

$$y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})$$
Plug the point in this formula to get the equation.
As for perpendicular slopes, the rule is:
$$m _{1}=-\frac{ 1 }{ m _{2} }$$

@Ankh  2x+y= 13?
I got partial credit though..

anonymous · Answer

The perpendicular slope to -2 is 1/2
y-3=0.5(x-5)
y-3=0.5x-2.5
y=0.5x-2.5+3
y=0.5x+0.5
