perpendicular y=-2x,(-3,6)

perpendicular

y = - 2 x, (- 3, 6)

y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{15}{2}

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

perpendicular to

y = - 2 x

that passes through

(- 3, 6)

Find the slope of

y = - 2 x : 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

(- 3, 6) : y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{15}{2}

y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{15}{2}

What is the perpendicular y=-2x,(-3,6) ?
The perpendicular y=-2x,(-3,6) is y= 1/2 x+15/2
