OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. y=-2x-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b. y=1/2x+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any equation with .5x will be perpendicular (same slope)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c. 2x-y=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Medal please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the answer smarty pants?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c because the inverse of the slope .5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

no waiit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure there is not an answer with -2x ? or -.5 x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c and d hats it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wats d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slope, and please do not give direct answer @kiker
