Question
Use the given conditions to write an equation for each line in point-slope form and slope-intercept form.Passing through $(4,-7)$ and perpendicular to the line whose equation is $x-2 y=3$
Step 1
To do this, we subtract $x$ from both sides to get $-2y=-x+3$. Then, we divide both sides by $-2$ to isolate $y$, which gives us $y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}$. Show more…
