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.

Identify the slope and the y-intercept of<br> the line with the given equation:<br> 2x+6y=12

Elza [17]

Answer:

The slope is -1/3 and the y-intercept is (0, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+6y=12

6y=12-2x

6y=-2x+12

y=-2/6x+12/6

y=-1/3x+2

y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept
