The slope of a line is 1/3 . What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line? -3 -1/3 1/3 3 C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is A, -3

Perpendicular slope is the opposite reciprocal. So if it is +, then the new slope is -, and vice versa, and the fraction is "flipped." So it would be -3/1, simplified to -3.
