Answer:
y = -2 + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line will have an exact opposite slope. For example, if you line has a slope of 4, the slope will be one-fourth, etc.
To solve we know our equation will have a slope of -2.
So we set up what we have:
y = -2x + b
We then solve using the given point (y & x) to solve for b.
3 = -2(2) + b
3 = -4 + b
7 = b
So, our b is 7.
Our equation is y = -2 + 7
(hopefully this is correct and helps, have a nice day!)
