Slope of the line h is 2.
The equation for line h is y = 2x + 4.
Solution:
General equation of a line is y = mx + c,
where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.
In the given image, line g and line h are intersecting lines and perpendicular to each other.
Equation of line g is .
Slope of the line g () =
If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of the slopes is –1.
