Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is 2x+y=4 .so slope(m1) = - coefficient of x / coefficient of y= -2/1=-2

  • we have slope of the line perpendicular to the other line is m1*m2=-1\
  • then slope of the line perpendicular to the line 2x+y=4 is -2*m2=-1\
  • then -2/-1=m2 therefore m2 =2 .

Answer:

-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the slope is 2, the opposite of that is -0.5. Take the fractions and flip them. 2 is 2/1. If you reverse 2/1, you get -1/2.
