Which of the following equations represents a line perpendicular to \(2x-y+5=0\) and intersecting the \(y\)-axis at \(-3\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x+2y+6=0\)

Writing the given line as \(y=2x+5\) gives slope \(2\). A perpendicular line has slope \(-\frac12\). With y-intercept \(-3\), it is \(y=-\frac12x-3\), or \(x+2y+6=0\). Exam tip: perpendicular slopes multiply to \(-1\).
