Question

HELP PLEASEE!!!! ASAP which of the following is the slope of any line perpendicular to the line with equation 2x + y - 3 = 0

Answer 1

m perpendicular = −3 / 2

Explanation:

y = m x+b

where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.

−3 y = −2 x + 5

divide all terms by - 3

−3 y − 3 = − 2 − 3 x + 5 − 3

y = 23 x − 53

in slope-intercept form

slope = m = 23

The slope of a perpendicular line is the

negative reciprocal of m
