Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the graphed line?

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the graphed line, you take two points. I have chosen (0, 4) and (8, 0)

The formula of a slope is (y value of second point $-y$ value of first point) divided by (x value of second point $-x$ value of first point):

$\frac{0-4}{8-0} =-\frac{1}{2}$

The slope for a perpendicular line is 2.
