Please note that there are infinitely many solutions. The slopes of two perpendicular lines have a product of minus 1. The line is in slope-intercept form, so it is easy to read off the slope: -5. The line perpendicular to it must have a slope of -1 / -5, or 1/5. In other words, the equation of the perpendicular line is y = (1/5)x + c; you can replace c with any number you want.

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 3x plus y equals 15?
Equation of given line: 3x + y = 15 or y = -3x + 15 Slope of given line = coefficient of x = -3 Slope of perperndicular = -1/(slope of given line) = -1 / (-3) = 1/3
What would be the slope of a line parallel to y equals -x - 10?
-1 (negative 1)
What is the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the line that has an equation of y equals x plus 13?
negative 1
When you graph Y equals negative one would it be a function?
Yes and it will be a straight line intercepting y at -1 and parallel to the x axis
What way would y equals -2x plus 3 lean?
* / *: :* : * < ::::::::::: *:::::::::> : * : : / the stars are the line, it crosses the y-axis at 3 and the slope is negative 2
If the regression line is y equals 4 minus 3x then do the variables have a positive association or negative Or both?
Negative association.
Can y be negative on y equals mx plus b?
That's the equation of a straight line. Unless the line is horizontal (for m = 0), the y-coordinate of the line will always be positive for part of the line, and negative for another part of the line.
What is the slope of the graph of the line x equals negative 1?
x = negative 1 is a vertical straight line parallel to the y axis at x = -1 ; its slope is infinite
What is the equation of the straight line that passes through (82) and (8 -3)?

What is the slope of the line 4x plus 6y equals 12?
The slope is negative 2/3.
What is the line y equals x?
the line would look like a perfectly diagonal line. the line would be 45 degrees.
What are two line slopes that are negative reciprocals are?
Two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals if the product of their slopes equals -1. For example, if one line has a slope of 2, the negative reciprocal would be -1/2. This means that if one line rises 2 units for every 1 unit it runs, the other line falls 1 unit for every 2 units it runs, creating perpendicular lines.
