Find an equation of the line containing the point (-1,3) and perpendicular to the line x+2y=-6

y= 2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve for y, so that you have the equation in slope intercept form.

x+2y=6

2y= -x +6

2y/2 = -x/2+ 6/2

y= -x/2 + 3

now you know the first line. The slope of the second is an inverse of the first.

So m= 2

now use the point to find your y intercept

y= 2x +b

3 = 2(-1) + b

3= -2+b

3+2= -2+2 +b

5=b
