Vocaloid:
to be perpendicular slopes they have to be opposite reciprocals
in other words, they must look like:
A/B and -B/A

Roses:
thank you
Vocaloid:
the slope has to be the negative reciprocal of (-5/3)
so switch the numerator/denominator and multiply by -1
Roses:
I'm confused can you walk me through it please
Vocaloid:
-5 is the numerator, 3 is the denominator in the fraction (-5/3)
now switch the numerator and denominator, let me know what you get.
