Ok so what is the slope of the current line?

anonymous · Answer

i dont know

Well what is slope? Rise/Run right?
So count how many the line goes down in a run of 1

anonymous · Answer

3?

anonymous · Answer

Close

anonymous · Answer

-3
Because it is going down right?

anonymous · Answer

y=3x+23?

anonymous · Answer

is that correct?

anonymous · Answer

-3 my bad

anonymous · Answer

Umm as the answer or as the equation of the line?
BEcause that isn't correct for either

anonymous · Answer

Just look at the slope of that line for now k?
-3

anonymous · Answer

Now it is a fact in math that if you want a line to be perpendicular there has to be another line with an OPPOSITE SIGN and it has to be an INVERSE

anonymous · Answer

So for example if I want a line to be perpendicular to a line with a slope of 2 it needs to have a slope of -1/2

anonymous · Answer

Do you understand?

anonymous · Answer

rise/run

anonymous · Answer

can you maybe just give me the the answer? i just want to pass this test already
