Answer 1

5 because they have to multiply to equal -1

Answer 2

for a line to be perpendicular then you take the recipical of the slope :
example if M=4 then perp M=1/4 and if m=1/6 then perp m=6

Answer 3

it has to be the opposite recipricol

Answer 4

so it would be -5?

Answer 5

yes, sorry about that it is the neg

Answer 6

yeah
