Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 2x + 8 A) y =
1
2
x – 4
B) y = –
1
2
x – 4
C) y = 2x + 12
D) y = –2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the line y=2x+8. It is in slope-intercept form or y= mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of the line is 2.

We want to find the equation that is perpendicular. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

1. Negate

2. Reciprocal

The perpendicular slope is -1/2, so the correct equation must be B.

show us the graphs dude

step-by-step explanation:

1) 2/5

2) zero=0/1

3) zero=0/2

4) -4/5

5) undefined=3/0
