Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 3 = (-1/2)(x - 2)
Solve 8x-4y+9=0 for y so as to find the slope of this given line:
8x + 9 = 4y, or y = 2x + 9/4. The slope of the given line is 2. The slope of any line perpendicular to this one is the negative reciprocal of 2, which is -1/2.
Use the point-slope formula: y - k = m(x - h ). (h, k) is (2, 3) and m is -1/2.
Then we have: y - 3 = (-1/2)(x - 2)
