Question

How do you find the slope perpendicular to `y= 1/2x-7`?

Answer 1

`-2`

Explanation:

`y= 1/2x-7`

okay this equation is already in slope intercept form:

`y=mx+b` where m = slope and b = y-intercept

The formula for a perpendicular slope is `-1/m`

so your slope is `1/2` applying the formula:

`-1/(1/2) = -2`
