Answer:
1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-7X
The slope of this line is -7
Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
-7 * m = -1
Divide each side by -7
m = -1 / -7
m = 1/7
The slope of the perpendicular line is 1/7
Answer:
1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular slope can be calculated by take the opposite/negative reciprocal of the given slope. This means multiply the given slope by -1 (so if it is negative it becomes positive and if it is positive then becomes negative) and then flip the numerator and denominator.
So -7 is the slope of the given equation (y = mx + b where is m is slope and b is the y-intercept).
to find perpendicular slope..
Step 1. Multiple -7 by -1 = 7
Step 2. Flip 7/1 to 1/7
Answer: 1/7 is perpendicular slope
