The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
If they are perpendicular, the product of their slopes should be -1 -1*X = -1 X = 1 The other line has slope 1

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
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
Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
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.
