Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 1/2x - 7 with a y-intercept of 15. What is the perpendicular slope?
What is the new equation?

m = -2

y = -2x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

so it's asking for the perpendicular slope so perpendicular means negative reciprocal so the negative reciprocal of 1/2 is -2

and since the question has already provided the y intercept, just write out the new equation in slope intercept form so y = -2x + 15. hope this helps

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
