well the |dw:1430919701081:dw| mark means that they are perpendicular to each other, and the slope of any line that is perpendicular to another is the slope flipped and negated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if the slope is 3 then what is that flipped? remember that 3 is the same thing as 3/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close! It should be \[\frac{ -1 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't know if you wanted me to write the fraction aswell lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh lol its ok, but if you just said -3 then it wouldn't be correct, because -3 is the same thing as \[\frac{ -3 }{ 1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah i got it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah! Thats good! Did you have any more questions for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have 3 left if you wanna help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure! Just open another question again!
