Answer:

We write equations with negative reciprocal slope of each other.

Explanation:

Perpendicular lines intersect at 90 degrees or perpendicular angles. As such, their slopes are related. The slope of each line is the negative reciprocal of the other. For the equation,
y=16-(x)/(3). The slope or
m=-(1)/(3). This means the slope of the other line will be the negative reciprocal which is -(-3)=3
