Question

ASAP! find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to y=-1/2x+4

Answer 1

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b- y-intercept

Perpendicular lines have a negative

reciprocal slope.

Explanation:

$\pink:\implies$Define

y= -1/2x +4

$\:$

$\pink:\implies$ldentify

Slope m = -1/2

$\:$

$\pink:\implies$Solve

Reciprocate and multiply by negative

$\dashrightarrow$ m = 2
