Question 390420: What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 2x+y=6?
Answer by haileytucki(390)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x+y=6
Since 2x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides.
y=-2x+6
To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m=slope and b is the y intercept.
y=mx+b
Using the y=mx+b formula, m=-2 and b=6.
origional slope....= m=-2, b=6
Using this can you tell what slope would be perpendicular?
Hope this helps (bty...m=slope b=y-intercept)
