ok ill let u try... what is the opposite slope of 5x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have literally no idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok opposite means like if its + then u switch it to -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like -5x would be the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perpindicular so it would be like 5x=-1/5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmkay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thers is actually mor than one choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if the slope is 5x and u need a line perpendicular, then the slope can be -5x or -1/5x
