Question

Y=-1/2x=4 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?

Answer 1

Hello there! :)

Remember:

• Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.
• This means we take a number, change its sign, and flop it over.
• The slope of the given line is -1/2.
• We change its sign: 1/2
• Flop it over: 2
• Therefore, the slope is 2.
• Hope it helps. Use the comment section to clarify your doubts, and sorry for the late response.

Answer 2

Answer:2

Explanation:

To fine perpendicular slope you do the opposite sign and then flip the numbers. So -1/2 becomes 2/1 which is equal to 2.
