Question

Lines m and p are perpendicular.if the slope of line m is -3 ,what is the slope of line p?

Answer 1

slope of line p =
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

`m_(perpendicular)` = -
`(1)/(m)` = -
`(1)/(-3)` =
`(1)/(3)` ← slope of line p
