Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y =4

Lets solve for y so the equation is in slope intercept form

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x+y = -2x+4

y = -2x+4

The slope is-2

When we want a perpendicular line, the slope is the negative reciprocal

-(1/-2)

+ 1/2

The slope of the new line is 1/2

Stels [109]

Answer:

slope = $-\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula given in the question to solve for the slope. The $m$ is the variable representing the slope. The $x_1$ and $y_1$ values are x and y values of one point. The $x_2$ and $y_2$ are x and y values of another point.

So, use the x and y values of the points given and substitute them in the correct order into the formula:

$m = \frac{(7)-(9)}{(10)-(-6)}\\m = \frac{7-9}{10+6} \\m = \frac{-2}{16} \\m = -\frac{1}{8}$

Thus, the slope is $-\frac{1}{8}$ .
