The slope of the line of 2x plus 2y equals 7 is (7/2x - 1).
Slope = 2
Slope-Intercept Form: y = -2x +1
2
Assuming y = -2x + 1; -2 is the slope.
2X + Y = 1subtract 2X from each sideY = - 2X + 1=============
Yes because they have the same slope
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
The slope of a line perpindicular to y=-2x+5 is 1/2 because a perpindicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope.
For the line 2x + y = 8 , the slope equals ( -2 ) so the required slope of the line which is perpendicular to it is equal to (+1/2 )
Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope. Slope of y=2x+5 is 2/1 negative reciprocal is (-1/2)
The second equation has the steeper slope.
