y=2x+2 is an equation in slope-intercept form with a slope of m=2
All lines perpendicular to y=2x+2 will have a slope
XXX - 1 m = - 1 2
If a line has a slope of ( - 1 2 ) and passes through (6,3)
then we can write its equation in slope-point form as
XXX y - 3 = ( - 1 2 ) ( x - 6 )
While this is a valid answer, we would normally rearrange it into a simpler form:
2y−6=6−x
x+2y=12
