Reactant $(A)$ produces two products. If $Ea_2 = 2 Ea_1$,then $K_1$ and $K_2$ are related as:
$A \xrightarrow{K_1} B$,activation energy: $Ea_1$
$A \xrightarrow{K_2} C$,activation energy: $Ea_2$

The temperature dependence of the rate constant $k$ is expressed as $k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$. When a plot between $\log k$ and $1/T$ is plotted,we get the graph as shown. What is the value of the slope in the graph?
