perpendicular y=-x/2-6,(-8,1)

perpendicular

y = - \frac{x}{2} - 6, (- 8, 1)

y = 2 x + 17

Solution steps

Find the line

y = mx + b

perpendicular to

y = - \frac{x}{2} - 6

that passes through

(- 8, 1)

Find the slope of

y = - \frac{x}{2} - 6 : m = - \frac{1}{2}

Compute the slope of the perpendicular line:

m_{p} = 2

Find the line with slope m=

2

and passing through

(- 8, 1) : y = 2 x + 17

y = 2 x + 17

3 x - 1 + 5

f (x) = - \frac{3}{2 x ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

\frac{( x - 2 )}{3 x + 7}

f (x) = x^{2} - 6 x + 3

f (x) = \frac{6 x}{1 + x ^{2}}

What is the perpendicular y=-x/2-6,(-8,1) ?
The perpendicular y=-x/2-6,(-8,1) is y=2x+17
