Question

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is

4x – 3y = –27. Fully reduce your answer.

Answer 1

-3/4

Explanation:

We can rearrange the equation to get 3y = 4x + 27. Then we can find the slope intercept form: y = 4x/3 +9. You find the perpendicular slope by solving for the opposite and reciprocal of the current slope 4/3. So we would get -4/3, and then -3/4.
