What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is x - y = 6. Fully reduce your answer

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

x-y=6

y=x-6

the slope of the given line is m=1

therefore

the slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal

so

answer is

slope is -1
