We'll put both given lines in the point slope
form:
y = mx + n, where m is the slope and n is y
intercept.
y = 2x + 2
y = -x +
4
If 2 lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes
is -1.
Comparing the given lines with the point slope form
of the line, we'll gather the facts that m1 = 2 and m2 =
-1.
We'll multiply m1 by m2 and we'll
get:
2*(-1) =
-2
Since the result is different from -1,
then the lines are not perpendicular.
