Yes, it can be the slope of an infinite number of lines. As long as the y-value goes down one for every time the x-value increases by one, the line has a slope of -1.

What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
Given a line with a slope of 1 7 what is the slope of any line that lies perpendicular to it?
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with slope m is -1/m. So for a line with slope 1/7, any line perpendicular to it will have: slope = -1 / (1/7) = -7
Given that the slope of a line is 1 3 what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
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
Which is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y equals -2x plus 6?
line in data is y=-2X+6 The perpendicular line will have a slope of = +1/2 Note : m X m' = -1 , m= slope of line 1 ; m'= slope of perpendicular line to line 1
What is the slope of the line that contains 1 6 and 1 9?
That line is vertical. Its slope is "undefined".
If one slope is -1 what is the slope of the perpendicular slope?
The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.
What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
Given a line with a slope of 1 7 what is the slope of any line that lies perpendicular to it?
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with slope m is -1/m. So for a line with slope 1/7, any line perpendicular to it will have: slope = -1 / (1/7) = -7
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular?
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
Two lines are perpendicular If one line has a slope of 1 21 what is the slope of the other line?
The slope of a line and the perpendicular to that line, when multiplied together, give -1. So, if the first line has a slope of 1/21, the second has a slope of -21.
The slope of a line is -3. Find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line. The slope of a line is -3.?
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.
Given that the slope of a line is 1 3 what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
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
What is the relationship between slope and a perpendicular line?
If a line has a slope m then a line perpendicular to it has a slope -1/m ( negative inverse). For example if a line has slope positive 2, its perpendicular has slope -1/2
If the slope of the green line is -3 what is the slope of the red line?
The lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is -1, what is the slope of the red line?
Which is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y equals -2x plus 6?
line in data is y=-2X+6 The perpendicular line will have a slope of = +1/2 Note : m X m' = -1 , m= slope of line 1 ; m'= slope of perpendicular line to line 1
How do you find slope altitude?
If the slope of a line is m then the slope of an altitude to that line is -1/m.
