Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (4, 4) and is perpendicular
to the line
y = -2x + 16
our formula is:
y=mx+b
y=-2x+16
m=-2 (slope)
b=16 (y-intercept)
Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (4, 4) and is perpendicular
to the line
y = -2x + 16
so the formula of perpendicular line is -1/m your slope is -2 perpendicular line s slope will be:
(-1)/(-2)=1/2
and we have m=1/2 and (4, 4) let s put it into y=mx+b:
4=(1/2)*4+b
b=2
So our equation is:
\(y=\frac{1}{2}x+2\)
