lines a and b are perpendicular. the slope of line a is given. What is the slope of line b?
a is -2
:
When lines are perpendicular their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That means you change the sign and flip the slope upside down.
:
a has a slope of -2=-2/1
Therefore b has a slope of 1/2
