How do I find a perpendicular line to y=-1/2x-2

Question

how do I find a perpendicular line to this equatio?

Deanna L. · Accepted Answer

A perpendicular line is by definition using the slope that is the negative inverse of the original line. So in this case if the original slope is -1/2 the perpendicular slope has a slope of 2. The simplest one is probably y=2x. Make sense?
