Answer 7

What do we know about the slope of a line perpendicular to another line where the slope is known??

Answer 8

Speak.

Answer 9

You rang?

Answer 10

What is the slope of the line that is given in the problem?

Answer 11

Y = -X + 6 That is the line equation of the line that is given. What is the slope of that line ??

Answer 12

Are you prepared to work on line equations?

Answer 13

oh sorry i had left

slope of Y = -X + 6 is -1

Answer 14

Very good, now what would the slope of the line that is perpendicular to that line be?

Answer 15

??

Answer 16

Have you ever heard the term "reciprocal"?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

reciprocal :
The multiplicative inverse of a number. For example, 2 divided by 3 is the reciprocal of 3 divided by 2.

Answer 19

thats what i have learned (it definition )

Answer 20

Good you will need to know what reciprocal means, a perpendicular line to that given line will have a slope that is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the given line.
What is the negative reciprocal of -1 ?

Answer 21

1

Answer 22

To keep within the bounds of your definition look at -1 as -1/1
The reciprocal of -1 is 1/-1 or -1
Now the negative of that is 1, yes, I see you have already figured that out. Great lets move on.

Answer 23

Use the slope formula: We know that the slope will be a positive 1, and the slope is defined as change in y divided by the change in x (delta y/delta x)
