SOLUTION: Can you please help me find the slope of a line perpendicular to each given line. y=1/2x-5

Question 738547: Can you please help me find the slope of a line perpendicular to each given line. y=1/2x-5
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope of this given line is 1/2

Flip the fraction to get 2/1 = 2

Flip the sign to get -2, this is the perpendicular slope. A good way to remember finding it is: Start with the given slope, turn it into a fraction (if necessary), then flip the fraction and flip the sign to get the perpendicular slope.

So the answer is -2
