Question

The equation of line j is y= -6/7x +7.Line k is perpendicular to j.What is the slope of line k?

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction,improper fraction,or integer.

Answer 1

y=7/6x

Explanation:

When given an equation and asked to find the equation of a perpendicular line that intersects it, you know that the slope is the slope of the equation is the negative recipricoal of the given equation. i.e. y=2x+2 and y=-1/2x+2. The y-intercept does not matter.
