$-\frac{1}{2}$

& 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is $y= -\frac{1}{2} x -5$

The given equation is in slope intercept form.

So, the slope of the given line is $-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the slope of a parallel line to the given line will also be $-\frac{1}{2}$ . {Since slope of two parallel lines are the same}

Now, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the given line will be 2.

{Simce, the product of slopes of two perpendicular straight lines is -1} (Answer)
