Given the equation-4x+2y=-2 what is the slope of a line parallel to the line?

given the equation-4x+2y=-2 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line?

given the equation-4x+2y=-2 what is the equation of the line perpendicular to the line that goes through the point (2,-2)

show work and step by step

The equation of the perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this line, we must first find the slope of the original line. We do this by solving for y.

-4x + 2y = 2

2y = 4x + 2

y = 2x + 1

This shows us a slope of 2. TO find the perpendicular slope, we use the opposite and reciprocal. This means we negative 2 to get -2 and then we flip it to get -1/2. Now that we have this, we can use the slope and the point in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 2 = -1/2(x - 2)

y + 2 = -1/2x + 1

y = -1/2x - 1

the most boring ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
