Question

Which of the following lines are perpendicular to the line y= -1/2x +4 ? (you may choose more than one answer)

A. 2x - y = 1
B. y = 2x
C. 2x + y = 1
D. 1/2x - y =2
E. 2x - y = 3​

Answer 1

ABE

Explanation:

Perpendicular means the slope of the line and the answer are reciprocal to each other.

The slope of the line is -1/2, which means the slope of the answer should be 2.

From A we got: y=2x-1

B:y=2x

C:y=-2x+1

D:y=-1/2x-2

E:y=2x-3

So the answer is ABE
