MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document Find the slope of the line perpendicular to y = - 5 3 x - 6
Any equation in the form y=mx+b is in slope-intercept form with a slope of m
If a line has a slope of m
then all lines perpendicular to it have a slope of - ( 1 m )
If the equation was intended to be
XXX y = - 5 3 x - 6
then all lines perpendicular to it will have a slope:
XXX - ( 1 - 5 3 ) = 3 5
