Answer:
y=\frac{1}{2}x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
Line is perpendicular to y=−2x−6
we can compare it with
y=mx+b
where
m is slope
so, m=-2
so, slope is -2
Our line is perpendicular to this slope
so, slope of our line will be
[tex]m'=-\frac{1}{-2}[/tex]
[tex]m'=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
now, we are given point as (6,1)
so, [tex]x_1=6,y_1=1[/tex]
now, we can use point slope form of line
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
we can plug values
[tex]y-1=\frac{1}{2}(x-6)[/tex]
now, we can solve for y
and we get
[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x-2[/tex]
