Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the line into y = mx + b form to find the slope (m)

x + 2y = 8

Subtract x from both sides

2y = -x + 8

Divide each side by 2

y = -1/2x + 4

So, the slope of this line is -1/2

Perpendicular lines have a opposite reciprocal slope, so the slope of a perpendicular line will be 2.
