Question

find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to y=-1/2x+4​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is −12 - 1 2 . The equation of a perpendicular line to y=−x2+4 y = - x 2 + 4 must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope. Simplify −1−12 - 1 - 1 2 to find the slope of the perpendicular line.

Answer 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

General Formulas and Concepts:Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b- y-intercept

Perpendicular lines have a negative

reciprocal slope.

Explanation:

Define

$:\implies$ y = -1/2x + 4

Identify

$:\implies$Slope m = -1/2

Solve

Reciprocate and multiply by negative

$:\implies$ m = 2
