Answer:

In this case the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 12x+2y=-12 will be \frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

A line has the form:

y = m * x + b

where:

  • m is the slope of the line.
  • b is Y-intercept. This is the value of y where the line crosses the y-axis.

In this case, the line has the form 12*x+2*y=-12

First, you must isolate the variable "y", in order to arrive at the form of the line detailed above:

12*x+2*y=-12

2*y= -12 -12*x

y= (-12 -12*x)÷2

y= (-12)÷2 -(12÷2)*x

y= -6 -6*x

In this case: the slope is -6 and the Y-intercept is -6.

Two lines are perpendicular when they form four equal 90º angles. For two lines to be perpendicular, they must have their slopes inverse and changed sign.

Then, <u><em>in this case the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 12x+2y=-12 will be </em></u>\frac{1}{6}<u><em /></u>
