identify an equation in point slope form for the line perpendicular to y=-2x+8 that passes through (-3,9)

y - 9 = 1/2(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope that is perpendicular to line y = -2x + 8, which is the negative reciprocal slope: 1/2

substitute the new slope 1/2 and the given/known point (-3, 9) into the point-slope form:

=> y - 9 = 1/2(x - (-3)) => y - 9 = 1/2(x + 3)

point-slope form:

7/2

step-by-step explanation:

the battle of gettysburg is considered the "high water mark" of the confederacy because it marked the greatest advance of the confederate forces against the union.
