The slope of the green line would be 1/2

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. This means we first have to take the -2 and make it opposite to its current sign (2). Now we can take the 2 and flip it as a fraction (1/2).

This gives us the slope

Answer: A [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture, it can be seen that green line is perpendicular to the red line.

Since , the product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Therefore, the product of slope of green line and red line must be -1.

i.e.[tex]\text{Slope of green line}\times-2=-1[/tex]

Divide -2 on both sides, we get

[tex]\text{Slope of green line}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
