WILL GIVE A MEDAL. What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is y = 2x + 5?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

let me tell you a secret

OpenStudy (camper4834):

that 2 next to the x is the slope

OpenStudy (camper4834):

and perpendicular lines........ their slope is THE NEGATIVE RECIPRICOLE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sole of this equation is the coefficient of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the perpendicular slope of this line: the formula for the perpenicular m1*m2=-1 so m1 you have it from the equation above just solve for m2

OpenStudy (camper4834):

okay we can do it that way

OpenStudy (camper4834):

2*x=-1 what is x?
