Answer:
y = x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
given line in slope/intercept form:
y = x -1/2
slope of the perpendicular line = 1
equation of the line
y - 2 = x + 1
y = x + 3
Answer:
y=-x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
since the line is perpendicular to 2y=2x-1, this means that its slope with be the opposite reciprocal of the line 2y=2x-1 's slope.
first, we should find the slope of the line 2y=2x-1:
2y=2x-1
y=x-1/2
therefore, the slope of 2y=2x-1 is 1.
the opposite reciprocal of 1 is -1.
so far, we have this:
y=-x+b
to find b (the y-intercept) we can plug the point (-1,2) into the equation we have so far and solve for b.
y=-x+b
2=-(-1)+b
2=1+b
b=1
so, the equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) and is perpendicular to 2y=2x-1 is:
y=-x+b
