Find the equation of the perpendicular at the point (4,3) to the line y + 2x = 5

A.

2y - x = 4

B.

y + 2x = 3

C.

y + 2x = 5

D.

2y - x = 2

Correct Answer: 2y - x = 2

Explanation

Gradient of the line y + 2x = 5 = -2 Gradient of the line perpendicular to y + 2x + 5 = 1/2 equation of a line perpendicular to y + 2x = 5 at the point (4, 3) y - y1 = m(x - x1) y - 3 = 1/2(x - 4) 2y - 6 = x -4 2y - x = 2

Gradient of the line y + 2x = 5 = -2 Gradient of the line perpendicular to y + 2x + 5 = 1/2 equation of a line perpendicular to y + 2x = 5 at the point (4, 3) y - y1 = m(x - x1) y - 3 = 1/2(x - 4) 2y - 6 = x -4 2y - x = 2
