Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) and is perpendicular to
2y = x − 3
.
leave your answer in the form
y = mx + c

y = - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange

2y = x - 3 into this form

Divide all terms by 2

y = x - ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m =

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = - = - 2, hence

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (- 1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 2 = 0

y = - 2x ← equation of perpendicular line

good luck!
