Answer:
y = x/2 +9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x - 6.
The equation of the line perpendicular to the above equation has a slope 1/2
The equation of a slope is
y2-y1/x2-x1 = 1/2
To form an equation of the line we chose a point that lies on the graph which is perpendicular to y = -2x - 6 and an arbitrary point (x,y)
A point is given us already and that point is (3, 6).
Tie all together to compute the slope we have;
y-6/x-3 = 1/2
2(y-6) = x-3
2y-12= x-3
2y = x-3+12
2y= x+9
Dividing through by 2 we have
y = x/2 +9/2
y = x/2 + 4.5
