Question

If you are finding the line perpendicular to x + 3y = 5, what is the slope of the perpendicular line?

Answer 1

find the slope of this line first, get it into y=mx+b form

Answer 2

x+3y=5
3y=-x+5
y=(-1/3)x+(5/3)

Answer 3

y= -1/3x +5/3
so slope of perpendicular line is 3

Answer 4

A. -3/5
B. 1/3
C. 3
D. -3
these are the answers given

Answer 5

C
