1) Solve the given equation for "y". The resulting equation will be in slope-intercept form, so you can immediately read off its slope.
2) Any line parallel to that line will have the same slope.
the slope will be positive 1.5x the whole equation is y=4.5+1.5x
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 )
It is -1/2
- 1/3
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

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.
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
If you mean y = 2x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/2
It is: -1/2

Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
the slope will be positive 1.5x the whole equation is y=4.5+1.5x
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 )
It is -1/2
- 1/3
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
