Question

Lines m and n are perpendicular lines. If line m has a slope of 1/3, find the slope of line n.

Answer 1

If you multiply the slopes of two lines which are perpendicular, you should get a result of -1.


So, if your slope for line n is k, then
\[\Large \frac13k = -1\]

And solve for k.

Answer 2

wats n

Answer 3

n is apparently the name of the line. n has no numerical value.

Answer 4

wats k

Answer 5

that's the value we assigned to the slope of line n (that which we are finding)

So in this equation,
\[\Large \frac13k = -1\]
Just solve for k, and that's your answer.
