Equation of a perpendicular line (-2,-3); 2y +4x =8

If you want a line perpendicular to that containing (-2,-3):

1. put equation in slope-intercept form

2y=-4x+8

y=-2x+4

2. find the slope of the perpendicular line:

the slope is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.

so, the original slope is -2

the opposite reciprocal is 1/2

3. find b

the point slope equation is y=mx+b

-add slope

y=(1/2)x+b

- use your point (-2,-3) to plug in known values for x and y

-3=(1/2)(-2)+b

-solve

-3=-1(b)

b=3

your equation is y=(1/2)x+3

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
