Opposite reciprocal sound familiar?

anonymous · Answer

the perpendicular slope is the negative inverse of the slope of the original

anonymous · Answer

so -1/m

anonymous · Answer

I'm still confused :/

texaschic101 · Answer

y = 6x + 2
the slope here is 6 or 6/1
a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign.
So the negative reciprocal of 6 is -1/6

anonymous · Answer

what is the slope of y = 6x + 2

adamaero · Answer

m = slope (the original slope for what msasu25 gave you)
