Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.
Equation of a line is,
y = -1/2 x + 5
Comparing this equation with,
y = mx + c
=>Slope of given line,m = -1/2
We know that slope of a line that is perpendicular to the other line of slope m is,
m1 = - 1/m
=> m1 = - (1)/(-1/2)
=> m1 = 2
●So the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line, y = -1/2x + 5, is 2.
●●●Hope my answer Helps.
