Answer:
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
given
y + 2x = 2 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
y = - 2x + 2 ā in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 2
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
