The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of that line. Basically, the slopes of two perpendicular lines multiply to -1. The slope of this line is -1/5. To find the slope of a line perpendicular, we need to find out what number, multiplied by -1/5, would make -1. Or, we can take the opposite reciprocal (it's the same answer). This number is 5, so the slope of a line perpendicular to this line is 5.
Answer:
No, they are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5n
Step-by-step explanation:
it's 5 times N. So it's 5×N, but with Algebra you don't necessarily need to include the multiplication sign
3x + 4y = -5
-3x -3x
4y= -3x -5
/4 /4
y= -3/4x-5/4
3x + 3y = -2
-3x -3x
3y = -3x-2
/3 /3
y= -1x-2/3
