How do you find a slope of a line perpendicular?
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.
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.
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.
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y equals 2 divided by 5x plus 10?
If: y = 2/5x+10 then the perpendicular slope is -5/2x or -2.5x

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 3x plus y equals 7?
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to 7y equals 3x-6?
Slope of the given line is 3/7 So slope of perpendicular line is -7/3
What is the slope of line that would be perpendicular to 6x-2y equals 12?
Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x plus y equals 8?
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 )
Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 3x plus 5y equals 15?
3X + 5Y = 155Y = -3X + 15Y = (-3/5)X + 3The slope of this line is -3/5.The slope of a line perpendicular to it is 5/3.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to x equals -4?
The line x = -4 is vertical, so a line that is perpendicular to it is horizontal, so its slope is 0.
