Find the equation and write in slope-intercept form through the point (3, -6); perpendicular to 2y - x = 3

So, let's first find the slope of the second question:

Our second equation has a slope of one half, so we know that a line perpendicular to it will have the negative reciprocal slope of that, so -2. We have this now as our equation:

We are given the point (3,-6), so let's plug the x and y in and find our b:

Since our b is 0, our equation is simply:

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1
