Guided Practice Write an equation for the line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

4x – 2y = 9; (8, –2)

A.
y=−1/2x−9/2

B.
y=1/2x+2

C.
y=−1/2x+2

C.

y=−1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula  y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )  to find the line perpendicular to  4 x − 2 y = 9 .

y = − 1 /2 x + 2

a: 1/6, j: 1/4

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
