Write the equation of the line in the standrad form: y = mx + c
The slope of this line is m
The inverse of the slope is then 1/m.
Note, that for a line perpendicular to the first, you need the negative inverse, not just the inverse. And the negative inverse of m is -1/m.

Is the inverse of a line with positive slope a line with negative slope?
Never.
How do you find the slope of a parallel line?
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you know the slope of a line in question, or you can calculate it, then you know the slope of any line parallel to that line.
How do i find the slope of a graphed line?
you look at the line and see if there are any direct points on the line the slope formula
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.
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.
Is the inverse of a line with the slope greater than one is a line with the slope less than one?
A line does not have an inverse!
Is the inverse of a line with positive slope a line with negative slope?
Never.
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
A straight line on a graph means there is a what relationship?
A direct relationship if the slope of the line is positive. An inverse relationship if the slope of the line is negative.
When is the inverse of a itself a function?
Since the inverse of a function is it's reflection over the line x=y, which has a slope of 1. The only way a function can be It'a own inverse is if it is a liner function whose slope is perpendicular to the line. Since a perpendicular line is any line with the negative recoprocal of the slope, any linear function whose slope is -1 will be it's own inverse. - stefanie math 7-12 teacher
Must be positive the slope of an inverse relationship?
The slope of an inverse relationship
Which formula is correct for the slopes of perpendicular lines?
if slope is given as m then perpendicular slope is -1/m (negative inverse)
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.
What is the slope of his line on your graph?
The slope a graph's line is both a qualitative and quantitative indicator. Based on slope inverse, direct, or null relationships can be observed and even quantified through algebraic expressions. The elementary formula for the slope of a line is rise divided by run or (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1).
How do you find the slope of a parallel line?
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you know the slope of a line in question, or you can calculate it, then you know the slope of any line parallel to that line.
How do you find the slope of a line parallel to another line?
The slope of both lines will be the same.
How do you find a slope in a line?
the slope of a line = the Change in Y divided by the Change in X
