Answer:

The slope will be 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine the lines are perpendicular, the slope of the green line will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the red line. To find the negative reciprocal of -2, first change the sign. Since the slope is negative, make it positive 2. Then to find it's reciprocal, divide 1 by your answer. 1 divided by 2 is one half, s that is your answer.

Galina-37 [17]

Try writing it in point-slope form and you will see why you have a problem.

slope m is equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1):

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (2-6)/(-6 - -6) = -4/0

The denominator has a zero, so it is undefined.

Since the point-slope form requires "m" to be defined, you can't write the equation of the line using point-slope form.
