What is the slope of a line that is peroendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 5?
Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope. Slope of y=2x+5 is 2/1 negative reciprocal is (-1/2)
What is the graph if the slope is negative?
If the slope is negative, or going downhill, then that means the graph will be a regular coordinate system (x and y axis). The only thing that is different is the direnction of the slope. A positive, or regular, slope formula, looks like this: y= 2x + 3, for example. Since there are no negative signs, the slope would be going upwards. But a negative slope, like you are talking about, would look either like this: y= -2x + 3 ( negative sign in front of 2 ). Remember: If the equation looks like this: y= 2x - 3, it would still be positive, because it is behind the 2x. Good luck!
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y equals -2x plus 1?
It will be the positive reciprocal of -2 which is 1/2
Does a negative plus a negative equal a positive?
a negative number plus a negative number is negative. here is a proof.(-x)+(-x)(-1)x+(-1)x-1(x+x)-1(2x)-2xa negative number times a negative number is positive though.
What is the slope of line Y equals 2x plus 2?
Slope is 2.
