The calculated slope of a line perpendicular to the line with the equation y = -x is B. 1.

What is the slope of the perpendicular line

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:-

y = -x

A linear equation is represented as

y = mx + c

Where

Slope = m

This means that

m = 1

So, the slope of the line y = -x is -1.

Lines are considered perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

So, we have

Perpendicular slope = -1/-1

Perpendicular slope = 1

So, the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -x is 1.

Question

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -x?

A. -1

B. 1

C. 0

D. -​1/2
