If you mean y = 2x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/2
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
y = - 1/3 x + any number.
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
I need answer
2y= 3x+6
-5
It is: -1/2
12
It is -1/2
- 1/3
If you mean y = 2x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/2
General formula
Without an equality sign it can't be considered to be an equation but in general if the slope was 3 then the perpendicular would be -1/3
