Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 4) and perpendicular to y = -negative one halfx + 4.

y = 2x + 8

y = 2x

y = -2x - 8

y = -2x

Answer 2

when lines are perpendicular the product of the slopes is -1
slope of line 1 = m
slope of perpendicular = -1/m

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

find the slope and you have 2 points any point (x,y) and given (-2, 4)
the slope is the same for any 2 points on a particular line

Answer 5

Alright I get it so far
