Question

22) What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line of the given equation?

y = 3x - 8

Answer 1

m perpendicular =
`-(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

slope is 3

m = 3

the equation of a perpendicular line to y = 3x - 8 musts have a slope that is negative reciprocal of the original slope
