Answer 1

slope of a line perpendicular is the negative recipricol of that slope

Answer 2

how do i know what the recipricol is

Answer 3

THE SLOPE OF q is -1/3
so you need to calculate negative reciprocal of -1/3

Answer 4

reciprical of a is 1/a

Answer 5

so if the slope is -1/3 the answer to the question would be 1/3 or was -1/3 the answer

Answer 6

negative reciprocal of a is -1/a

Answer 7

substituting -1/3 for a we have

Answer 8

can you work that out?

Answer 9

so the answer is A. Yes or No?

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

no
you get the answer by dividing -1 by -1/3

Answer 12

3

Answer 13

right
