Q:

Graph the line using a point and a slope. Write the equation of each line.C) a line that contains point (0, βˆ’3) and perpendicular to another line whose slope is 2.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: Β  y = -1/2x -3Step-by-step explanation:The line perpendicular to one with a slope of 2 will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 2, that is, -1/2. The given point is the y-intercept of the required line, so we can write its equation directly in slope-intercept form: Β  y = mx + bwhere m is the slope (-1/2), and b is the y-intercept (-3). Your line is ... Β  y = -1/2x -3
