The slope of the current line is -2/7. To find the slope of the line perpendicular to it, find the negative reciprocal of the slope. So it would be 7/2. The y intercept or the b would remain the same so the equation would be y=7/2x+8. Hope this helps.
I didn’t get that second part, yet the answer for 1+1 is 2
Answer:
The slope is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
Disclaimer: Just for this response, I'm going to write it the same way you write a fraction out on paper just so it's easier to see.
First, you plot the two coordinates on the graph:
(0,0) and (2,1)
The formula for slope is 
Now we plug in numbers accordingly:

Simplify:
