Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y=2x-6 that passes through the point (1,5). If possible, write the equation in slope-intercept form.

y = - x +

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = - , thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - + c ⇒ c = 5 + =

y = - x + ← equation of perpendicular line

sinn is the total amount of students now and m were the students before, you subtract them both (n-m) and divide that by m. then, since to get a percentage from a fraction you have to multiply by 100, your answer should look like this: n-m/m*100
