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.
1/4
y=3x+2 so the gradient or slope is 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.
Which of the following is the point-slope equation of the line with a slope equals -4 and a point of -2 3?
If you mean: y = 3x-4 then it is a straight line equation whose slope is 3 and its y intercept is -4
That depends is it 3x + or - 9?
If you mean: y = 3x+4 then the slope is 3 and the y intercept is 4
If you mean: y = 3x+3 then the slope is 3 and the y intercept is 3
If you mean y = 3x-2 then it is a straight line equation whereas 3 is the slope and -2 is the y intercept
Assuming that you meant that the equation is y=3x+1, the slope is 3. This is because the equation of any line in the form of y=mx+b has a slope of "m". Therefore, the value of m in this equation is 3.
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.
If you mean: y = 3x+5 then it is a straight line equation that can be plotted on a graph whereas 3 is the slope and 5 is the y intercept
The slope of a line that has the points 3, (-4), and has a slope of 2 is 2.
If you mean: y = 3x-5 then the slope is 3 and the y intercept is -5
If you mean: y = 3x-5 then the slope is 3 and the y intercept is -5
3/4
