Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line v=-1/3x-6

Answer 1

If you are trying to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line, you would need to change the sign and change it to the fraction's reciprocal.

m = $-\frac{1}{3}$

Change the sign of the slope:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Finally, make the reciprocal of the original slope (switching the numerator and denominator):

$\frac{3}{1}$

Simplify:

3

Final answer:

$m=3$
