Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the point (4, −3) and perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 1? Write your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

-1/2

Answer 2

y=2x+1

Answer 3

we would need to know a little something about perp lines and their slopes

Answer 4

the scope of line perpendicular to a second is just the negative of the inverse of the first line's scope , this case first scope is 2 then the scope of the perpendicular is -1/2

Answer 5

and when you insert slope for scope; that makes perfect sense :)

Answer 6

oh sorry ^_^ my english mistakes
