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]
