Question

Given any linear equation, explain how to find the slope for a line that is perpendicular to the given equation. please help i suck in math :(

Answer 1

given a linear equation in slope- intercept form y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c the y -intercept

the slope of a line perpendicular to it is -
`(1)/(m)`

If equation is y = 2x + 3 ( with slope m = 2 )

then the perpendicular slope = -
`(1)/(2)`
