What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = -1/2x+ 5?
-2
O 3
O 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the slope of the perpendicular line, we first have to identify the slope of the given line.

Given line: y= -½x +5

Slope of given line= -½

After finding the slope of the given line, we can now proceed to find the slope of the perpendicular line.

The product of the slope of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let the slope of the perpendicular line be m.

m(-½)= -1

m= -1 ÷(-½)

m= 2

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line is .
