Question

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 5?

Answer 1

Hello there! (:

y=2x+5

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals (the opposite of a number flopped over)

So if one line has a slope of 2, then its opposite reciprocal is -1/2/

Hope it helps! Ask me if you have any query.

Answer 2

2x is the slope, I think.
