What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y - 3x equals 8?
y - 3x = 8 standard form is y = mx + b m = slope y = 3x + 8 in this form slope m is 3 The perpendicular line slope is the negative inverse of m -1/m = -1/3
How do you find slope altitude?
If the slope of a line is m then the slope of an altitude to that line is -1/m.
