Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line
v=-1/3x - 6

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

y=-1/3x-6, for this line, the slope (m) is -1/3.

This is because the equation is in the slope intercept form: y = mx + b.

The perpendicular line to one with m = -1/3, is the negative reciprocal of m, we'll call it m2.

m2 = --3/1 = +3/1 = 3
