Question

7x-3y=-7 slope of line perpendicular

Answer 1

Answer: -3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the slope of the line

y = mx + c where m is the slope of the line
Rearrange the equation and we get

3y = 7x + 7
y = 7x/3 + 7/3

So the slope of the line 7x - 3y = -7 is 7/3

There is another rule that states: The product of the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other is -1

So, the slope of the line perpendicular to 7x - 3y = -7 is -1/(7/3) = -3/7
