Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 2x + 7 is in this form with slope m = 2
This line is perpendicular to the side it bisects.
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
