Answer:
y = -1/2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the perpendicular line first, take the negative reciprocal of the slope.
2 -> -1/2
So far, the equation is y - -1/2x ± b. (since we are using mx + b)
Since you want the point (4, 3) to cross over the line, we substitute values in.
3 = -1/2(4) + b
3 = -2 + b
b = 5
Your equation that fits the answer is -1/2x + 5.
Your welcome!
