Question

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to y = 3x + 7

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line has the form y = mx + b where m is the slope. Here the slope is m = 3. A line perpendicular to it will have a negative reciprocal slope. The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3.
