Question

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y= 2x+4 and passes through the point (4, 6)?

Answer 1

So you know how graphing equations and slopes and stuff like that works, right?

Answer 2

Just making sure

Answer 3

I just want to get this Apex done quickly

Answer 4

Ok, y = 2x + 4 has a slope of 2

Answer 5

the line you need is perpendicular, or has the inverse slope of 1/2

Answer 6

wait no, -2

Answer 7

brain fart there

Answer 8

so far we have y = -2x

Answer 9

is it y= -1/2x+4 ?

Answer 10

if it passes through 4,6, then that is a solution to the equation, i.e 6 = -2(4) + x

Answer 11

6 = -8 + x

Answer 12

14 = x

Answer 13

i got it! thanks

Answer 14

so the equation is y=-2x +14 i'm sure

Answer 15

wait checking my work

Answer 16

no it was Y= 1/2x+8 i think

Answer 17

is this an essay or multi-choice question?

Answer 18

also you are right it is -1/2

Answer 19

and if it passes through 4,6 then yeah it is y=-1/2x + 8
