Answer:

1/6.

Explanation:

Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are negative reciprocals. So, if one line has a slope of -6, the negative of the slope would be 6, and the reciprocal would be 1/6.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

Well perpendicular lines are reciprocals of each other,

meaning if like k has a slope of -6 then line n will have a slope of positive 1/6.

Thus,

line n has a slope of 1/6.

Hope this helps:)
