When a line is perpendicular to another line, the slope will be the opposite of the reciprocal of the other.

In this scenario, a line is perpendicular to 2. The other line will be the opposite of the reciprocal of this line.

slope = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Good luck!

QveST [7]

Answer: Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2h−3=3

Step 1: Add 3 to both sides.

2h−3+3=3+3

2h=6

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2h/2 = 6/2

h = 3.
