• Line x = -2 is a vertical line that passes through point x = -2
Given the point ( 3;-5)
• We know that perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes , so the slope of the line will be
,• m = 1/2
• so , the standard formula for a line : y = mx +c
at point ( 3-5) , we will have :
-5 = 1/2(3) + c
Therefore c = -5 -3/2
= -13/2
• Our y- intercept will be -13/2
• Finally , our equation of the line will be :
y = 1/2x -13/2
