Question

Which line is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of 1/2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Line having the slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is given with the slope $m_{1}=\frac{1}{2}$ then we have to find a line which is perpendicular to this line.

Let the slope of other line is $m_{2}$ and this line is perpendicular to the first line.

Then $m_{1}. m_{2}=-1$

So $(\frac{1}{2}).(m_{2})=-1$

$m_{2}=-2$

So the line which has slope = -2 will be perpendicular to the line having slope = $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

if one line is perpendicular that has a slope of 1/2 then the other line is -2
