Two lines are perpendicular. The slope of one line is -2, What is the slope of the other line?

1 answer:

8 0

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign.
slope = -2, or -2/1....so flip the slope...-1/2...and change the sign...1/2.
so the perpendicular slope would be 1/2.

5(2x - 4) = 45
10x - 20 = 45
10x = 45 + 20
10x = 65
x = 65/10 reduces to 13/2 or 6 1/2
