Answer 2

Answer:

slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

x + y = 3 ( subtract x from both sides )

y = - x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 1

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-1}$ = 1
