The slope would be -2 (moving 2 units down and one across). When you have a linear equation, the slope is always the variable's coefficient.

The slope is the coefficient of x in the standard form and so it is 2.
Is the equation of a straight line with slope 2 and an intercept of (0,20).
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 )
y = -2x+4 It can be any equation providing the slope is the same but the y intercept is different
