If the second equation is y=-3x+4 then they would be parallel and I found that by turning the first equation into y=mx+b and you subtract x from both sides of the equation and get -3y=-x+15 and then you divide both sides of the equation by -3 to get the y by itself and that turns into y=1/3x-5 and since 1/3 is the reciprocal of -3 they are perpendicular.
The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5 will be -1/8.
<h3>What is the slope of perpendicular lines?</h3>
Suppose that first straight line has slope 's'
Let another straight line be perpendicular to this first line.
Let its slope be 'a'
Then due to them being perpendicular, they have their slopes' multiplication as -1
or
s x a = -1
s = -1/ a
Slope of line y = 8x + 5
s = 8
The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5
8 x a = -1
a = -1/8
Thus, the slope is -1/8.
