Answer:
If a line is perpendicular to another line, that means that the slope is completely opposite that of the original line. The first thing that we do to the slope is we negate the number which means that if we have a slope of our slope because
in this step. In our case our slope is
so in this step it becomes
.
Moving onto the second part which is to get the reciprocal of the number which means that if we have then we would switch it to
. In our case our number is
so we would make that into a fraction like this
.
In conclusion, our final slope of the perpendicular line is .
