perpendicular y=-2x+6,(2,2)

perpendicular

y = - 2 x + 6, (2, 2)

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 1

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

perpendicular to

y = - 2 x + 6

that passes through

(2, 2)

Find the slope of

y = - 2 x + 6 : m = - 2

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = \frac{1}{2}

Find the line with slope m=

\frac{1}{2}

and passing through

(2, 2) : y = \frac{1}{2} x + 1

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 1

What is the perpendicular y=-2x+6,(2,2) ?
The perpendicular y=-2x+6,(2,2) is y= 1/2 x+1
