Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope. Slope of y=2x+5 is 2/1 negative reciprocal is (-1/2)
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!
It will be the positive reciprocal of -2 which is 1/2
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.
Slope is 2.
The slope is -2x and the y intercept is 5 Note that it will be a negative slope.

The slope of a line perpindicular to y=-2x+5 is 1/2 because a perpindicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope.
Oh, dude, it's like super easy. So, if you have a negative y in slope, all you gotta do is multiply it by -1. That negative sign is like a bad vibe at a party - you just gotta flip it to positive and keep the good times rolling. So, yeah, just slap a -1 on that negative y and you're golden.
The slope of the line of 2x plus 2y equals 7 is (7/2x - 1).
If you mean y = 2x+1 then it is a straight line equation whereas the slope is 2 and the y intercept is 1
2x + y = 20 y = -2x + 20 Slope = -2 m=-2
It will be the positive reciprocal of -2 which is 1/2

Slope = 2
