TaigaIn order to find a line that is perpendicular to y = 6x - 2, you need to take the negative reciprocal of the gradient.
The gradient of this graph is 6 as you know that all straight line graphs are in the form y = mx + c where m is the number in front of x and stands for gradient.
So, we take the negative reciprocal of 6.
If you take the reciprocal of 6, it is 1/6
If you then take the negative of it, it is -1/6
This -1/6 is the gradient of the line that will be perpendicular to the line y = 6x -2.
Therefore the line that will be perpendicular to it will be y = -1/6x + c where c can be any number.
Hope that helps.

6x plus 2 equals 6 how do I get the answer?
6x + 2 = 6 6x = 4 x = 2/3
What is 6x plus 7 equals -5?
6x+7 = -56x = -12x = -2
X2 plus 6x plus 8 equals?
The quadratic expression x2+6x+8 when factorised equals (x+2)(x+4)
What does 9x plus 3-6x-2 equals to?
9x + 3 - 6x - 2 = 3x + 1
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation y6x plus 2?
If you mean: y = 6x+2 then its perpendicular line is -1/6.
