Ookaay @((*-*)) 2 more? same thing as the last one. (-2,2) y=1/2x-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same thing as the last one? please write the question fully

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write an equation in slope-intercept form of a line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so find the slope that will form a line, thqat is perpendicluar to the line: y=1/2x-2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a line with a slope m, a perpendicular (to it) line would have a slope -1/m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you find the slope that will form a perpendicular line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so with a slope -2, you have: y=-2x+b plug in your point to solve for b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2,2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but you got to plug this point into y=-2x+b -2 instead of x, 2 instead of y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and solve for b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y as in b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all I meant is: y=-2x+b (2)=-2(-2)+b and solve for b...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1420649743807:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES B=-2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what will you new line be ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( we hadm y=-2x+b, and found the b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-2x-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is all.... donnnne

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ain't working for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it to work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am typing it all out for you :)give me a min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@((*-*))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A path for a new city park will connect the park enterance and Maine Street, as shown below. The path should be perpendicular to Maine Street. What is the equation that represents the path? y=________________
