Perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1. As this is always true, if we think of .33 as about 1/3, then the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/(1/3) which is -3.
If we call the slope m we can say that the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m In this case as the slope, m, is 13 the slope of the perpendicular is -1/13 or -0.07692307692
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3
Slope of line: 3 Perpendicular slope: -1/3 Equation: y-2 = -1/3(x-0) => y = -1/3x+2
The slope of two lines are perpendicular only if their slopes multiplied together equal -1 (m1*m2 = -1). So if a line has a slope of -3 then a line perpendicular to this one has a slope of -1/-3 or 1/3.
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.
Perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1. As this is always true, if we think of .33 as about 1/3, then the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/(1/3) which is -3.
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
If we call the slope m we can say that the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m In this case as the slope, m, is 13 the slope of the perpendicular is -1/13 or -0.07692307692
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3
If two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slope is -1.An equivalent way of stating this relationship is to say that one line is perpendicular to another line if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other. For example, if a line has slope 3, any line having slope - 1/3 is perpendicular to it. Similarly, if a line has slope - 4/5, any line having the slope 5/4 is perpendicular to it.
A perpendicular line has the negative reciprocal of the slope. The perpendicular line has a slope of 1/2 y=1/2 + 3 The 3 or y-intercept can really be any number though.
If you mean: y = -4x+3 then the perpendicular slope is 1/4
Slope of line: 3 Perpendicular slope: -1/3 Equation: y-2 = -1/3(x-0) => y = -1/3x+2
