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.

x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
If you mean y = 2x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/2
If you mean: y = 5x-2 then the perpendicular slope is -1/5
Endpoints: (2, 9) and (9, 2) Midpoint: (5.5, 5.5) Slope of line segment: -1 Perpendicular slope: 1 Perpendicular bisector equation: y-5.5 = 1(x-5.5) => y = x

x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
If you mean y = 2x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/2
-5
It is: -1/2
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
the slope will be positive 1.5x the whole equation is y=4.5+1.5x
For the line 2x + y = 8 , the slope equals ( -2 ) so the required slope of the line which is perpendicular to it is equal to (+1/2 )
It is -1/2
- 1/3
Without an equality sign it can't be considered to be an equation but in general if the slope was 3 then the perpendicular would be -1/3
3x+y = 4 y = -3x+4 Perpendicular slope: 1/3
