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 the line that is perpendicular to y - 4x 3?
If you mean: y = -4x+3 then the perpendicular slope is 1/4
Assume you have two lines which are perpendicular If one line has a slope of 3 what is the slope of the other line?
-(1/3)
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.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line -2x 9y-8?
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
The slope of line a is 3 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to a?
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.
What is the slope of line that is perpendicular to the slope -2 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 a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -2/3 is 3/2, (or 11/2 or 1.5).
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope of 3 over 5?
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope
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
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.
The slope of a line is two-thirds What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
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
Given that the slope of a line is 1 3 what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
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
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of .33?
Perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1. As this is always true, if we think of .33 as about 1/3, then the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/(1/3) which is -3.
