Vocaloid:

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

Vocaloid:

which one matches best to this description?

Roses:

-3/4;4/3

Vocaloid:

good that's it

Roses:

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.
