Question

which of these lines is perpendicular to line y = 2x + 6?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

A line perpendicular to y = 2x + 6 would have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 2 (the slope of the original line). The negative reciprocal of 2 is -1/2.

Therefore, a line that is perpendicular to y = 2x + 6 would have the equation y = -1/2x + b, where b is the y-intercept.

In summary, any line with an equation in the form y = -1/2x + b is perpendicular to y = 2x + 6.
