What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line that contains the points 0 and 2 and -3 and 4?
Slope: (2-4)/(0--3) = -2/3 Perpendicular slope: 3/2
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line passing through the points 5-1 and 2-5?
Points: (5, -1) and (2, -5) Slope: 4/3 Perpendicular slope: -3/4
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to 2x-3y8?
If you mean: 2x-3y = 8 then y = 2/3x-8/3 and the perpendicular slope is -3/2
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to x - 3y equals 9?
x-3y = 9 -3y = -x+9 y = 1/3x -3 Perpendicular slope = -3
What is the perpendicular bisector equation of the line segment whose endpoints are at -1 3 and -2 -5?
Endpoints: (-1, 3) and (-2, -5) Midpoint: (-3/2, -1) Slope: 8 Perpendicular slope: -1/8 Perpendicular bisector equation: y --1 = -1/8--3/2 => y = -1/8x -19/16
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of .33?
Perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1. As this is always true, if we think of .33 as about 1/3, then the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/(1/3) which is -3.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y 5 3x plus 8 3?
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x plus 4y equals 12?
4y= -3x + 12 y = -3/4x + 3 The perpendicular slope is 4/3
The slope of line a is 3 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to a?
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x plus y equals 4?
3x+y = 4 y = -3x+4 Perpendicular slope: 1/3
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3?
Without an equality sign it can't be considered to be an equation but in general if the slope was 3 then the perpendicular would be -1/3
The slope of a line is -3. Find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line. The slope of a line is -3.?
The slope of two lines are perpendicular only if their slopes multiplied together equal -1 (m1*m2 = -1). So if a line has a slope of -3 then a line perpendicular to this one has a slope of -1/-3 or 1/3.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose euation is 5x plus 3y equals 8?
-5/3
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is y equals 3x plus 4?
- 1/3
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope of 3 over 5?
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to 7y equals 3x-6?
Slope of the given line is 3/7 So slope of perpendicular line is -7/3
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 3x plus y equals 7?
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
