Answer:
The slope of the perpendicular line to the line is
m = [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
Given that the line y =f(x) = 2x +6
⇒ y = 2x +6
comparing y =mx +c
The slope of the given line m =2
Step(ii):-
The slope of the perpendicular line = [tex]\frac{-1}{m}[/tex]
The slope of the perpendicular line = [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
