Answer:

-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the slope value of the first line, we will call this m_{1}

so  m_{1}=2

And we use the <u>condition </u>so that two lines are perpendicular: the product of the two slopes must be equal to -1.

That is, if the slope of the first line is m_{1} and the slope of the second line is m_{2}:

m_{1*}m_{2}=-1

we know that m_{1}=2, so:

2m_{2}=-1

and clearing for m_{2}:

m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}

the slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 2 is: -\frac{1}{2}

Which transformations can be used to map a triangle with vertices A(2, 2), B(4, 1), C(4, 5) to A’(–2, –2), B’(–1, –4), C’(–5, –4
Romashka [77]
The triangles ABC and A'B'C' are shown in the diagram below. The transformation is a reflection in the line y=-x. This is proved by the fact that the distance between each corner ABC to the mirror line equals to the distance between the mirror line to A'B'C'.
