Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the graphed line?

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

To find the slope of the graphed line, you take two points. I have chosen (0, 4) and (8, 0)

The formula of a slope is (y value of second point
`-y` value of first point) divided by (x value of second point
`-x` value of first point):

`(0-4)/(8-0) =-(1)/(2)`

The slope for a perpendicular line is 2.
