y = -0.5x + c where c is any number.
The equation could, of course, be written as x + 2y = k where k (=2c) is any number.

Are lines y equals 2x and y 2x equals 3 perpendicular or parallel?
If the second equation is: y minus 2x equals 3, then:y - 2x = 3 ⇒ y = 2x + 3 and it is parallel to y = 2x.Otherwise (with with missing operator as "plus", "multiply" or "divide"), the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
How do you graph parallel and perpendicular lines?
If you want to graph parallel lines, they need to have the same slope (Ex. 2x+2 and 2x+3)- parallel lines cannot have the same y-intercept because the two line would be the same. Perpendicular lines slopes need have to be opposite reciprocals (Ex. -2x+4 and +1/2x+3)- perpendicular lines can have the same y-intercepts, it doesn't make a difference.
What does slopes of parallel and perpendicular mean?
When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. For example:y=5x-3 andy=5x+9These lines are parallel, because they have the same slope.When two lines are perpendicular they have negative reciprocal slopes. For example:y=2x-6 andy=-1/2x+2These lines are parallel, because they have negative or opposite reciprocal slopes.
What is the equation of a line that passes through 3 -4 and is perpendicular to 5x -2y equals 3 on the Cartesian plane?
Perpendicular slope: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y--4 = -2/5(x-3) => 5y--20 = -2x-3 => 5y = -2x-14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
What kind of lines are y equals 2X plus 4 and X plus 2Y equals twelve?
The lines are mutually perpendicular.

Is 2x-5y-3 perpendicular to 5x 2y6?
If the slopes of the lines are negative reciprocals, then the lines are perpendicular.2x - 5y = -3 subtract 2x to both sides-5y = -2x - 3 divide both sides by -5y = (2/5)x +3/55x + 2y = 6 subtract 5x to both sides2y = -5x + 6 divide both sides by 2y = (-5/2)x + 3Yes, the lines are perpendicular.
Are lines y equals 2x and y - 2x equals 3 perpendicular or parallel?
y-2x=3 -y -y -2x=3-y -3 -3 -2x-3=-y /-1 /-1 2x+3=y y=2x and y=2x+3 have the same slope of 2, so they are parallel. Hope this helps! ;D

Is y equals 2x-6 and y equals one half plus 3 perpendicular to each other?
No but y = -1/2x+3 is perpendicular to y = 2x+6
How can you determine if the given lines are perpendicular?
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. A straight line with an equation in the form: y = mx + c has slope m and y-intercept c. Given two lines y = mx +c and y = nx + d they are perpendicular if mn = -1. Examples: 1) are the two lines y = 2x and 2y = x + 2 perpendicular? y = 2x 2y = x + 2 → y = 1/2 x + 1 → product of slopes = 2 x 1/2 = 1 → the lines are not perpendicular 2) are the two lines y + 2x = 5 and 2y = x + 2 perpendicular? y + 2x = 5→ y = -2x + 5 2y = x + 2 → y = 1/2 x + 1 → product of slopes = -2 x 1/2 = -1 → the lines are perpendicular
What type of lines are these x 2y 7 and 2x - y 7?
perpendicular JEW
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to 2x-3y8?
If you mean: 2x-3y = 8 then y = 2/3x-8/3 and the perpendicular slope is -3/2
Do spheres have 3 pairs of perpendicular lines?
Spheres do not have any perpendicular lines.
What is the equation of a line that passes through 3 -4 and is perpendicular to 5x -2y equals 3 on the Cartesian plane?
Perpendicular slope: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y--4 = -2/5(x-3) => 5y--20 = -2x-3 => 5y = -2x-14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
