To get a line perpendicular to another, you flip the coefficient of x and change the sign--e.g., y = -4x + c (c is a constant and can be any number; that does not affect the perpendicularity).

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to x - y equals 16?
Slope of a line perpendicular to x-y=16
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to x plus 10y equals 50?
10 is.
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
What is the equation perpendicular to the line y equals - 8 x plus 6?
0909
What is the perpendicular bisector equation of the line y equals x plus 5 spanning the circle x2 plus 4x plus y2 -18y plus 59 equals 0?
Equation of line: y = x+5 Equation of circle: x^2 +4x +y^2 -18y +59 = 0 The line intersects the circle at: (-1, 4) and (3, 8) Midpoint of line (1, 6) Slope of line: 1 Perpendicular slope: -1 Perpendicular bisector equation: y-6 = -1(x-1) => y = -x+7 Perpendicular bisector equation in its general form: x+y-7 = 0
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y 5 3x plus 8 3?
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
The equation of a line is x Minus 3y Plus 2 Equals 4. Which line is perpendicular to this line?
x-3y+2 = 4 -3y = -x+4-2 -3y = -x+2 y = 1/3x-2/3 Slope or gradient of the perpendicular line is -3 Use y-y1 = -3(x-x1) to find the perpendicular equation
Is -x plus 2y equals 6 a parallel line or a perpendicular line?
One single line is never parallel or perpendicular. Those words tell you somethingabout the relationship between two lines.
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 type of line is x plus 2y plus 6 and 4y equals 2x-12?
It is not one, but they are two perpendicular lines.
How do identify if y plus 2 equals one-fourth x plus 1 is a perpendicular line?
3
Is y equals 2x plus 4 and x plus 2y equals 12 a perpendicular or parallel line?
The second equation works out as y = -1/2x+6 therefore it is perpendicular
