To find the slope of a linear equation, you need to put it into Slope-Intercept form. Which is y=mx+b. So you will have to rearrange it to this form. So you currently have 2x+5y=-1. Move the 2x to the other side by subtracting. Now you have 5y=-2x-1. You need to get one y, so you divide the whole equation by 5 to get y=-2/5x-1/5. The slope is mx, so it is -2/5x.
Slope is 2.
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 )
2x+y = 10 or y = -2x + 10 so the slope is -2
answer is y=(4/3)-(2x/3)
the slope is - 2 and the y intercept is 4
The slope of the line of 2x plus 2y equals 7 is (7/2x - 1).
Slope = 2
Slope is 2.
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 )
- 2/3
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
2x+y = 10 or y = -2x + 10 so the slope is -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.
answer is y=(4/3)-(2x/3)
the slope is - 2 and the y intercept is 4
It is -1/2
Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope. Slope of y=2x+5 is 2/1 negative reciprocal is (-1/2)
