Answer:
B. y = -[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The line is perpendicular to line whose equation is:
y = 2x + 4 and;
passes through point (4,6) .
The product slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.
The slope of the line whose equation is y = 2x + 4 is; 2
Let the slope of the perpendicular line (l2) be [tex]m_{l2}[/tex]
[tex]m_{l2} * 2 = -1[/tex]
[tex]m_{l2}[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Taking another point xy on line l2;
[tex]\frac{y - 6}{x - 4} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Cross multiplying this gives;
y = -[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x + 8 which is the equation of the perpendicular line!
