54. In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane below, the line through the points (-2,0) and (0,-4) is graphed. Which of the following values is the slope of any line that is in this plane and is perpendicular to the graphed line?

Answer and Explanation

Your Answer is

Correct Answer is J

Explanation

From the known information, it can be determined that the slope of the existing function is -2. Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to it should be the negative reciprocal of -2, which is 0.5.
