Question

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=1/2x + 3? (Please explain as best as possible, I have a final tomorrow! I will give best response and become a fan!)

Answer 1

To get the perpendicular line, just multiply the slope to get -1.

Answer 2

@Chlorophyll, you got a better explanation. I'm a little rusty.

Answer 3

Let m₁ is the given slope : ......?
L₂ perpendicular with L₁ : m₂ = -1/ m₁

Answer 4

So, I multiply 1/2x by..?

Answer 5

You can't follow the instruction ?!?

Answer 6

-.- Thanks.

Answer 7

-1/(1/2) so you flip the denominator and multiply. -1 x 2/1 = -2
