Perpendicular would mean that the slope of both lines have to be the same. The slope of the given line is 2, so the equation of the other line is of the form
y=2x+c
with c some constant.
Since it is given that the intercept of the second line is -2, we know that
-2 = 0.x + c
which gives us
c = -2
Using this, we can see that the equation of the perpendicular line is
y=2x-2

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x - y equals 7?
-5
Write the equation of the line through (2 3) that is perpendicular to y -2x - 2.?
If you mean: y = -2x -2 and point of (2, 3)Then perpendicular equation is: y-3 =1/2(x-2) => 2y = x+4
What is the equation of the line 3 -4 and perpendicular to the line of 5x -2y equals 3?
Answer: y = -2/5x-14/5 which also can be written as 5y = -2x-14 or in the general form of the equation of a straight line as 2x+5y+14 = 0
What is the equation that passes through the point 3 and -1 and is perpendicular to the line 2x-4y equals 8?
Slope: -2 Equation: y--1 = -2(x-3) => y = -2x+5
What is the equation of the straight line passing through the point 4 -2 and perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x -y -5 equals 0?
2x-y -5 = 0 => y = 2x -5 The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of 2 which is -1/2 So using the formula of y -y1 = m(x -x1) gives the straight line equation:- y - -2 = -1/2(x -4) y +2 = -1/2x +2 y = -1/2x +2 -2 y = -1/2x which can be expressed in the form of: x +2y = 0 So the straight line equation is: x +2y = 0
How do I write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line perpendicular to the graph of the equation that passes through the x-intercept of that line?
As for example the perpendicular equation to line y = 2x+6 could be y = -1/2x+6 because the negative reciprocal of 2x is -1/2x
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is y 2x 5?
If you mean y = 2x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/2
What equation has a graph perpendicular to y equals 2x-3?
5
What is the equation of the line written in standard form that passes through the point (-3 4) and is perpendicular to the line 3x 2y5?
If you mean line of 3x+2y = 5 then y = -3/2x+2.5 Perpendicular slope: 2/3 Perpendicular equation: 3y = 2x+18 or as 2x-3y+18 = 0
What is the equation of the line passing through 3 -4 and it is perpendicular to the line 5x -2y equals 3?
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
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x - y equals 7?

It is: -1/2
What is the equation of the line that passes through the point of 3 -4 and is perpendicular to the line 5x -2y equals 3?
Known equation: 5x -2y=3 => y=5/2x -1.5 Slope of equation: 5/2 Perpendicular slope: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y--4=-2/5(x-3) => 5y--20=-2x+6 => 5y=-2x-14 Therefore the perpendicular in its general form is: 2x+5y+14 = 0
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x plus y equals 8?
For the line 2x + y = 8 , the slope equals ( -2 ) so the required slope of the line which is perpendicular to it is equal to (+1/2 )
