Given the equations of two lines, (y = 2x + 3) and (y = mx + 4), find the value of (m) that will make the two lines perpendicular.

Question

Accepted Answer

Step:1 ：The slope of a line given by the equation (y = mx + c) is (m). So, the slope of the first line is (2).Step:2 ：If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is (-1). Therefore, (m * 2 = -1).Step:3 ：Solving the above equation for (m), we get (m = -1/2).
