Question

Please help!!! What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the following line:

Answer 1

b.) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel slopes have same slope.

Perpendicular slopes have negatively inverse slope.

`\sf Here \ given \ equation: y = -(1)/(2) x - 6`

Comparing it with slope intercept form, "y = mx + b" where m is slope.

Here parallel slope: -1/2

Perpendicular slope: -(-1/2)⁻¹ = 2
