Question

What is the perpendicular slope to 6/-3

Answer 1

Perpendicular slope is
`(3)/(6)` or
`(1)/(2)`.

Explanation:

Given:

Let the perpendicular slope be x.

The given slope is
`(6)/(-3)`

For perpendicular slopes, the product of the slopes is equal to -1.

Therefore,
`x* (6)/(-3)=-1\\-(6)/(3)x=-1\\6x=3\\x=(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)`

Therefore, the perpendicular slope is
`(3)/(6)` or
`(1)/(2)`.
