What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line of 2x+4y=12

Mathematics

make the equation slope-intercept form:

subtract 2x from both sides:

4y = -2x + 12

divide by 4 to get y by itself:

y = -1/2x + 3

to make the new line perpendicular to the existing line, completely flip the slope of the line:

y = 2x + 3

zmey [24]
Because the slope doesn't tell you any actual points on the line. 
It only tells you whether the line tilts up or down, and how steeply. 
But the line could be way up there or way down under, with the same slope.
You can't actually DRAW it until you know some point on it, and
   the y-intercept gives you one.
