Given Point: (0,-1)
Given Line: y=2x+5
If the line you are trying to find the equation of is perpendicular to the line given then the slope of the line you are trying to find must be the negative reciprocal of the line given. The slope of the line given is 2 so the slope of the line perpendicular to this one is -1/2. Using y=mx+b we get that y=(-1/2)x+b. Then we must use the point that was given to find b (the y-intercept).
This means:
-1=(-1/2)(0)+b
-1=b
So the equation is y=(-1/2)x-1
It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.

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
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
No because the slope of the second equation is 1/4 and for it to be perpendicular to the first equation it should be 1/3
negative 1
Find an equati find an equation for the line perpendicular to the line 8x - 8 y equals negative 2 having the same Y intercept as -6x + 2 y equals negative 8

y=-x
It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.

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
Known equation: 5x -2y = 3 or y = 5/2x -3/2 Slope of equation: 5/2 Slope of perpendicular equation: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y --4 = -2/5(x -3) => 5y = -2x -14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
Perpendicular to 2x - 3y = 8 through the point ( 2, 1 ) (Perpendicular means the slopes are negative inverses of each other) 3x+2y = 8
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
The equation will be perpendicular to the given equation and have a slope of 3/4:- Perpendicular equation: y--3 = 3/4(x--2) => 4y--12 = 3x--6 => 4y = 3x-6 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 3x-4y-6 = 0
No because the slope of the second equation is 1/4 and for it to be perpendicular to the first equation it should be 1/3
