Answer:
[tex]y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
slope-intercept form
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
Given line: y= 2x +2
slope= 2
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. Let the slope of the unknown line be m.
m(2)= -1
m= -1 ÷2
m= -½
Substitute the value of m into the equation:
y= -½x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x= 4, y= 3,
3= -½(4) +c
3= -2 +c
c= 3 +2
c= 5
Thus, the equation of the line is y= -½x +5.
