Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=2x+3?

Answer 1

Hello!

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

It means we take a number, flop it over and then make it negative.

So if we have 2, we flop it over:

`(1)/(2)`

Then, we make it negative:

`-(1)/(2)`

That is the slope. Hope it helps

If you have any query, please ask me! :)

Answer 2

Answer: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation: whenever a line is perpendicular you take the opposite reciprocal of the current slope.
