Question

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 2x+y=−4 and passes through the point (2, −8) ?

Answer 1

\[y-(-8)=1/2(x-2)\]

Answer 2

\[y=1/2(x-2)-8\]

Answer 3

Answer \[y=1/2x-9\]

Answer 4

\[2x + y = -4\]
\[y = -2x - 4\]
Slope: -2,
Perpendicular -> 1/2

Good

It seems your x and y went in the right spots

Answer 5

1/2 times -2 = -1

Though it becomes +8 on the left side

Answer 6

So -1 - 8 = -9, looks good

Answer 7
