when the slope is 0, the graph is a horizontal line on the x axis
so the y axis is perpendicular to it, which can be written x=0

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 4x 5?
If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y-5x equals 5?
The slope is -0.2
How do you write the equation for a perpendicular line?
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
What is the equation of a line that passes through the point 0 -3 and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 4?
Perpendicular slope: -1/4 Perpendicular equation: y-0 = -1/4(x-3) => y = -0.25x+3

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2y x - 1?
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
What is the perpendicular equation that meets the line of 2 3 and 5 7 at its midpoint showing key aspects of work?
Here are the key steps:* Find the midpoint of the given line. * Find the slope of the given line. * Divide -1 (minus one) by this slope, to get the slope of the perpendicular line. * Write an equation for a line that goes through the given point, and that has the given slope.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 5x- 2?
If you mean: y = 5x-2 then the perpendicular slope is -1/5
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y 4x 5?
If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
What line is perpendicular to 4x-3y12?
The equation has been distorted in the question (as usual on this site). The general idea is to solve the equation for "y"; read off the slope from the resulting equation; then divide minus 1 by this slope to get the slope of the perpendicular line.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y-5x equals 5?
The slope is -0.2
Find the equation of a straight line perpendicular to the line 4y-3x12?
There are infinitely many lines perpendicular to this line. All of them have the slope of -4/3, if that fact is of any help to you.
Which equation represents a line perpendicular to the graph of 3x-6y12?
Solve the line equation for "y", to get it in slope-intercept form. You can immediately read the slope from this equation.Divide -1 by (slope of this first line) to get the slope of the second line - the one perpendicular to the given line. Write an equation for any line with this slope.
