Find the slopes

anonymous · Answer

-x

sammixboo · Answer

The line is perpendicular if the slopes are reciprocals of each other

sammixboo · Answer

And opposite integers from each other

anonymous · Answer

???

igreen · Answer

-x isn't a number, the slope is the number before the 'x'

anonymous · Answer

-1

igreen · Answer

There is an invisible one there.. y = -1x + 3

igreen · Answer

Yes, correct, now what about the 2nd one?

anonymous · Answer

-1

sammixboo · Answer

So let's say the slope is 1/3. For it to be perpendicular, the other slope has to be -3. Flipp the fraction 1/3 around to have 3/1 which is equal to 3, then change it to the opposite integer sign, a negative sign, so you would have -3

igreen · Answer

Yes, so the slopes are parallel.
