Question

What will be the equation of line perpendicular to the line y=(-1/m)x+c?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the equation of line perpendicular to the line y=(-1/m)x+c is : y =ax+c when a is the slope

a ×(-1/m) = -1 so : a = m

the equation is y=mx+c

Answer 2

Explanation:

y = (-1/m)x + c

the slope here is -1/m

a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope...all that means is flip the slope and change the sign.

-1/m....flip the slope....-m/1......change the sign....m/1 which is the same as m

I cant tell u the equation of the line perpendicular, but I can tell u that is has a slope of m.
