Answer:
2
Explanation:
We can solve for y to find the slope of the given line.
x +2y = 2
2y = -x +2 . . . . . subtract x
y = -1/2x +1 . . . . divide by the coefficient of y
The slope is the x-coefficient, -1/2.
Any perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of this:
-1/(-1/2) = 2
A perpendicular line will have a slope of 2.
