Question

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line represented by the equation 2y = -6x + 8?​

Answer 1

slope=1/3

Explanation:

2y=−6x+8

Step 1: Divide both sides by 2.

2y/2= -6x+8/2

y=-3x+4

perpenducalr is the oppiste

of parralle so -3x becomes 1/3x.

Answer 2

slope=-1,

Explanation:

first you have to find the slope of the original question

2x+2y=-8

2y= -8 -2x

y= -4-x

slope = -1

to find the perpendicular slope you flip it and multiply by -1

-1 -> -1 *-1 -> 1
