Answer:

The slope will be 1/2.

Explanation:

Sine the lines are perpendicular, the slope of the green line will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the red line. To find the negative reciprocal of -2, first change the sign. Since the slope is negative, make it positive 2. Then to find it's reciprocal, divide 1 by your answer. 1 divided by 2 is one half, s that is your answer.
