Question

Helppp asappp pleaseee. What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is

2x – y = -8. Fully reduce your answer.

Answer 1

-1/2

Explanation:

2x-y=-8 --> y=2x+8 (slope: 2)

to be perpendicular, the product of two slopes should be -1

thus, the slope of a line perpendicular to this one is -1/2
