CoachTo solve this equation, we need a point where the perpendicular line and the y=2x-3 line will meet. So let's say the equation is still y=2x-3 and a point on this line is (2,1). The slope of the perpendicular line will always be the slope of y=2x-3 (the slope = 2) times it's reciprocal which should also be negative (-1/2). Now we know that the slope for the line perpendicular to y=2x-3 is -1/2. To find the equation of the perpendicular line, we need to use the point-slope formula
[y - y1 = m(x - x1)]. To solve this formula we need the slope of the perpendicular line ( -1/2) and the point (2,1). y-1 = -1/2(x-2) becomes y = -1/2x+2 is the equation for the line that is perpendicular to y=2x-3. Hope this helps :)

What are the solutions to the equation 2x 3 plus 4 equals 17?
2x3 + 4 = 17 2x3 = 13 x3 = 13 / 2 x = (13 / 2)1/3 x = 521/3 / 2
What are number factors in maths?
4 equals 2x2, 6 equals 2x3
How do you solve 2x plus 3 equal 9 X equals?
The equation is 2(x) +3= 9. X would equal 3. The equation would now look like this, 2x3+3=9.
What is the value of 2x3 plus 15y if x equals -7 and y equals 2?
If x = -7, then x3 = -343 so that 2x3 = -686 y = 2 then 15 y = 30 So 2x3 + 15y = -686 + 30 = -656
What is a - b x c equals 9?
5-2x3=9
