Find the equation of the line that contains the point P (-4 , 1) and is perpendicular to the graph of y= 2x-5 .

Answer 1

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one is the "negative reciprocal" of the other, or:
\[m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m}\]

Answer 2

Can you find the slope the line would have to have to be perpendicular to the original line?
