Standard form of equation is
y=mx+c where m is the slope.
y = - 2 x + 12
Slope m1 = -2#
Slope of perpendicular line m 2 = - ( 1 m 1 ) = - ( 1 - 2 ) = 1 2
Equation of perpendicular line passing through point P (2,4) is
y - y P = m 2 ( x - x P )
( y - 4 ) = ( 1 2 ) ( x - 2 )
y = ( 1 2 ) ( x - 2 ) + 4
y = ( 1 2 ) ( x ) - 1 + 4 = ( 1 2 ) x + 3
