Question

Y+2x=2 find the slope of every line perpendicular to the graph of the equation

Answer 1

`m_(perpendicular)` =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

y + 2x = 2 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

y = - 2x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

`m_(perpendicular)` = -
`(1)/(m)` = -
`(1)/(-2)` =
`(1)/(2)`
