Explanation
Correct answer: 1/2,.5,.50,0.5.
For an equation in slope-intercept form , represents the slope of the line in the xy-plane defined by this equation. It's given that line is defined by . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields . Dividing both sides of this equation by yields , or . Thus, the slope of line is . If line is perpendicular to line , then the slope of line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of line . The negative reciprocal of is . Note that 1/2, .5, .50, and 0.5 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
