Answer:

Slope of perpendicular line is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is 3 and we have to find the slope of the perpendicular line.

We know that the slope of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

In other words if the slope of the line is m then then slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{m}

The reciprocal of 3 is \frac{1}{3}

Hence, negative reciprocal of 3 is -\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the slope of perpendicular line is -1/3

C is the correct option.

1) How many 3/4 does it take to make 9/2?


     Now look at this, 3/4 x 6 = 4 1/2.  4 1/2 is the same as 9/2


   3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 ---> takes 6, 3/4's to make 9/2

2)  How many 3/4's go into 9/2?


    This is the same question as the 1st one so the answer is 6 :)


3)  9/2 divided by 3/4 = ??


         Use the KEEP< CHANGE< FLIP method, so it turns into  I
                                                                                                    I
                                                                                                    I
                                                                                                    I
      9/2 x 4/3                       < -------------------------------------          I


  This is equal to 36/6 which is 6 :)


The answer is 6 for numbers 1, 2, and 3 :)
