what is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y=1/2x-2?
A. -6
B. -1/6
C. 2
D. 6
P.S. pretend the numbers with the / between them are fractions
hey where's the words I typed them in
y = 1/2x - 2 The graph of this equation is a line with a slope of 1/2 .
the slope of a line perpendicular to it = the negative reciprocal of 1/2 so...
the slope of a line perpendicular to it = - 2/1
the slope of a line perpendicular to it = - 2
