Respuesta :

 2x+y=4
y = -2x + 4 so slope = -2
perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal so slope = 1/2
answer
C 1/2

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

Step one

get the equation in form

y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b the y-axis intercept

to find the slope

2x+y=4

y=-2x+4

-2x=mx, Hence

m=-2

Step two

two lines are perpendicular if the products of their slopes is equal to -1

[tex]m_{1}*m_{2}=-1[/tex]

we have

[tex]m_{1}=-2[/tex]

[tex]-2*m_{2}=-1\\solve\ for\ m_{2}\\m_{2}=\frac{-1}{-2}\\m_{2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

I hope it helps , Have a good day
