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.
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.
If you mean: y = -4x+3 then the perpendicular slope is 1/4
-(1/3)
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus value of 9y it can't be considered to be a straight line equation. But in general the perpendicular slope is the reciprocal of the slope of the equation. As for example if the slope was 3 then its reciprocal is -1/3. And if its slope was -3 then its reciprocal would be +1/3
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.

Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope
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.
Slope of the given line is 3/7 So slope of perpendicular line is -7/3
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
The slope of a line is typically expressed as a single value, and it seems there might be a misunderstanding with the notation "-1 3." If the slope of the line is -1, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is the negative reciprocal. Thus, the slope of a perpendicular line would be 1.
To find the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line, we first need to determine the slope of the line represented by the equation (5x - 15y = 20). Rearranging it into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we get (y = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{4}{3}), which shows that the slope (m) is (\frac{1}{3}). The slope of a line perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal, which is (-3).
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3
If we call the slope m we can say that the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m In this case as the slope, m, is 13 the slope of the perpendicular is -1/13 or -0.07692307692
