The line given by the equation y = 2x + 1/3 is perpendicular to the line given by what equation?

THE PERPENDICULAR LINE'S EQN.IS
2Y=-X+K...EXCHANGE X AND Y CORDINATES AND CHANGE SIGN OF ONE OF THEM IS THE RULR...
THIS IS BECAUSE PRODUCT OF SLOPES SHOULD EQUAL -1 FOR 2 LINES TO BE PERPENDICULAR...IN THE ABOVE CASE WE GET
(2)*(-1/2)=-1...HENCE THEY ARE PERPENDICULAR...K CAN BE ANY VALUE...TO FIND K YOU NEED ANOTHER CONDITION.
