An equation of a line perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y = - 1/2 x - 5 and passing through (6,4) is what?

Step-by-step explanation:

First, remember that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes to the original line. That means for this line, your slope will be 2 (flip the fraction and change the sign). So we have:

Next, plug in the point that it passes through in order to find the y-intercept (b).

So your equation will be:

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.  

e

step-by-step explanation:

an equation by definition has to have two or more variables (x and 2 in this case)
