Question

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is ?1. Which function represents a line that is perpendicular to y = ?6x + 7? A) y = 6x + 2 B) y = 1 6 x + 4 C) y = ?x ?3 D) y = ? 1 6 x + 7

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) y = 1/6x + 4

Explanation:

Since the slope of the original line is -6, we are looking for a line with a slope of 1/6. This is because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. B is the only answer that satisfies that situation.
