Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the given equation for y, you have ...
2x +4y = -64
4y = -2x -64
y = -1/2x -16
The coefficient of x is the slope of the given line: -1/2. The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this:
-1/(-1/2) = 2
The slope of the perpendicular line is 2.
