Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 1
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 + 2 ← 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
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 1) ⇒ c = 1 , then
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 1 ← equation of perpendicular line
