Answer:
- 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope, m , is the sama as 'gradient'....
if slope of one line is m, the perpindicular is -1/m
2 then perpindicular = - 1/2

-1/2
[tex]\Large\texttt{Calculations\::}[/tex]
If lines are perpendicular to each other , their gradients are opposite reciprocals of each other .
In order to find the opposite reciprocal of a number , we should change it's sign and turn it over as follows :
2 --> -2 --> [tex]-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
So the gradient of the line perpendicular to the line with a gradient of 2 is -1/2.
