identify the slope of a line that would be perpendicular to the given line. 1. 3x-y=8 2. y+2=5(x-6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They want you to turn the equations into slope intercept turn which is y = mx + b

OpenStudy (candy13106):

yea

OpenStudy (midhun.madhu1987):

Product of slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is always -1

OpenStudy (candy13106):

uh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the lines are perpendicular it means that when you multiply the slopes of the lines the result is -1. so slope(1) * slope(2) = -1 for a) the slope is 3. so the perpendicular slope would be -1/3 b) slope is 5. perpendicular slope is: (5)(slope2) = -1 and solve for slope2

OpenStudy (candy13106):

uh?????????????????????????????

OpenStudy (candy13106):

can u help me @midhun.madhu1987

OpenStudy (midhun.madhu1987):

Step 1: write the above equation in the form y = mx + c where m = slope and c = y intercept
