Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.

"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.
Yes, I could, if I knew the slope of the line given.
Line B is perpendicular to Line A if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of Line A.When a linear equation is in the formy = mx + b,m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. So, for example,y = (2/3)x + 5is perpendicular toy = (-3/2)x + 7.(The y-intercepts in these two equations are random numbers.)
