Step 1

Given;


y=2x+5

Required; To find the slope.

Step 2


\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ m_1=slope=2 \\ c=y-intercept \\ y=2x+5 \\ For\text{ perpendicular lines }m_1(m_2)=-1 \\ \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 2(m_2)=-1 \\ m_2=-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Answer;


slope\text{ of the perpendicular line required=}-(1)/(2)
