Find the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to x – 2y = 3 and passes through the point (4, -7)
first convert from standard(A+B=C) to Slope-Intercept (Y=MX+B)
Y=-1/2(X)+3
then find what y int. equals the point (its kinda confusing to explain) using the slope that the other line needs (opposite reciprocals)
so the Yint of the new line would be (0,-15)
then create the equation of the line in Slope-int form
Y=2X-15
and then convert back into standard
-2X+Y=-15
:) hope i helped
x-2y=3
x-3=2y
y=1/2 x - 3/2
The perpendicular line has a slope of -2
y-(-7) = -2(x-4)
y+7 = -2x+8
y = -2x + 1
y intercept is (0,1)
