Best Answer

To get a line perpendicular to another, you flip the coefficient of x and change the sign--e.g., y = -4x + c (c is a constant and can be any number; that does not affect the perpendicularity).

Is y equals 2x plus 4 and x plus 2y equals 12 a perpendicular or parallel line?

The second equation works out as y = -1/2x+6 therefore it is perpendicular
