OpenStudy (anonymous):

perpindular line had the negative reciprocal slope of the other

-1/2

the reason is above by lagrange678

first solve 2x-5 this is 2 as the -5 is unimportant when we are looking for a slope,if the slope is given as z any line perpendicular can be found by then-z^-1 which as sritama rightly says is. -1/2
