Question

Lines mand pare perpendicular. If the slope of line m is -3, what is the slope
of line p?

Answer 1

The slope of a perpendicular line is going to be the opposite and reciprocal of the original slope.

Opposite: -3 -> 3

Reciprocal: 3 -> 1/3

Therefore, the answer is 1/3

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

1/3

Explanation:

When a line is perpendicular, to find the slope, you take the negative reciprocal of the other slope.
