Question

If you are finding the line perpendicular to x + 3y = 5, what is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

set the equation to y= mx+b
m is the slope
to find the perpendicular slope, find the reciprocal of the slope with the oppoiste sign

Answer 2

WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

Answer 3

\[y= \frac{ -x+5 }{ 3}\]

Answer 4

now try to find the perpendicular slope, bu taking reciprocal of the slope with the opposite sign

Answer 5

WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

Answer 6

it's 3

Answer 7

you need to try to do this at least

Answer 8

a perpendicular slope is always the OPPOSITE RECIPROCAL. sooo
