What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
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 with equation y 4x 5?
If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
What is perpendicular to y equals 5x-2?

What would be the perpendicular line for y equals -x-5?
If the gradient of a line is m, the gradient of a line perpendicular to it (m') is such that mm' = -1, that is: m' = -1/m So for: y = -x - 5 m = -1, so the gradient of a perpendicular line is: m' = -1/-1 = 1 So a general line perpendicular to y = -x - 5 would be: y = x + c A specific line perpendicular to y = -x - 5 at point (xo, -xo-5) on the line is: y - (-xo-5) = 1(x - xo) ⇒ y = x - 2xo - 5

How do you write the equation of the line perpendicular to the line x equals 6 and passing through the point -4 5?
The line "x = 6" will be perpendicular to any line "y = C", where C is any constant. That means that the line which is perpendicular to "x=6" and passes through [-4, 5] will be "y = 5"
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 perpendicular to the line passing through the points 5-1 and 2-5?
Points: (5, -1) and (2, -5) Slope: 4/3 Perpendicular slope: -3/4
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line passing through the points 3 6 and 5 1?
The slope of the perpendicular to the line passing through P1(3,6) and P2(5,1) is 2/5. Note: the slope of the original line is (change in y)/(change in x), yielding -5/2. The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal, 2/5
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y-5x equals 5?
-1/5
