Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines whose scopes are m₁ and m₂ are perpendicular, then the product of the scopes of both lines is -1.

Therefore,

If m₁ is the scope of line a and m₂ is the scope of line b then,

m₁m₂ = -1 and m₁ = -2

-2m₂ = -1

m₂ = -1/-2 = 1/2

The slope of line b is 1/2.
