Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 5
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 )
f(x) = - 2x + 1 ← 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] , then
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + c
the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5 ) ⇒ c = 5
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 5 ← equation of perpendicular line
