Answer:

  -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging this equation to slope-intercept form, we see the slope (x-coefficient) is 2:

  2x = 7 + y . . . . . add y

  y = 2x -7 . . . . . . subtract 7

The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite of the reciprocal of this:

  -1/2 = slope of perpendicular

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?
jeka94

Answer:

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can verify if the following expression is true or false:

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?

If we want to proof this we need to show that for any number is true.

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:
