What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is y = 2x+5? slope = -1 slope = slope = -2

slope = -

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 )

y = 2x + 5 is in this form with slope m = 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

= - = -

Slope .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  :  equation is y = 2x+5.

To find : What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line.

Solution : We have given y = 2x+5.

On comparing by the slope form of line is

y = mx + b

where, m = slope , b = y-inercept.

So , = 2 .

When the two line are perpendicular to each other then thier slope is

.

Then plug the value of   = 2 .

.

.

Therefore, Slope .

i think is 3 and 6. this took me 10 min to think.hope to and hope that my answer is brainliest.(follow me )
