Question

find the slope of any line perpendicular to the following lines  -3x+5y=7

anonymous · Answer

Well the slope of this line is 3/5 so the perpendicular line's slope is the reciprocal of 3/5 or 5/3.

anonymous · Answer

The line perpendicular is the NEGATIVE reciprocal of the slope.

anonymous · Answer

That's what I said, -5/3

anonymous · Answer

If one of the lines has a positive slope the perpendicular one must have a negative one and vice versa.

Dear @FutureMathProfessor   I am beginning to believe you are trolling.  Your presentations have been inconsistent and questionable, at times.  Please take a little time to think about your responses and enter them with MUCH greater care.  You may wish to slow your pace a little and let others answer.  Perhaps you can learn a gentler, more helpful style.  So far, I have seen more confusion than help.  One thing I managed to learn along the way is that the love of mathematics is not enough to move forward in your professed goal.  You must also love the students.  You should treat them with much greater care.
