Question

Please help!!! What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the following line:

Answer 1

Answer:

b.) 2

Explanation:

Parallel slopes have same slope.

Perpendicular slopes have negatively inverse slope.

$\sf Here \ given \ equation: y = -\dfrac{1}{2} x - 6$

Comparing it with slope intercept form, "y = mx + b" where m is slope.

Here parallel slope: -1/2

Perpendicular slope: -(-1/2)⁻¹ = 2
