Question

HELP FAST I’LL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 6x+4y=72. Fully reduce your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 4y = 72

-6x         -6x

4y = 72 - 6x

/4         /4

y = 18 - 6/4x

y = -6/4x + 18

perpidicular slope is the opposite reciprical of the original line:

-6/4 is the slope of the line above.

4/6  or 2/3 would be the desired slope

check:

the two slopes mutplied would equal -1

-6/4 x 2/3 = -12/12 = -1
