10.Write the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given pointand is perpendicular to the given equation.6x + 3y = -9 and passes through (-2, 2)

Respuesta :

Let first put the equation of the first line in the form of slope intercept

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x+3y=-9\rightarrow \\ y=\frac{-9-6x}{3}=-3-2x \end{gathered}[/tex]

So it's slope is -2, so the new slope is

[tex]m=-\frac{1}{-2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Having the slope, we have that

[tex]\begin{gathered} y-2=\frac{1}{2}(x+2)=\frac{1}{2}x+1 \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+1+2=\frac{1}{2}x+3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

so the equation is

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+3[/tex]
