Answer:
slope = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
x + 2y = - 16 ( subtract x from both sides )
2y = - x - 16 ( divide all terms by 2 )
y = - x - 8 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= 2
