Answer 1

Answer: 1/2

Explanation:

The equation given is simplified into y= -2x-3. The slope being -2. When a line is perpendicular you find the opposite inverse. That being -1/2. You flip the top and bottem and top numbers of the fraction. Then make it (positive or negative) opposite of the original slope value. Making it now positive 1/2
