Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1/6x + 4?

Answer 1

y = ¹/₆x + 4

Perpendicular Slope: -6

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - y₁ = -6(x - x₁)

Answer 2

The slope is "1/6"

The equation is in the form of y = mx + c
Where m is the slope.
Since 1/6 is in the place of m, 1/6 is the slope

I hope this helped :D
