Answer:

Consider points (0, -5) and (-6, -1)

» General equation of a line:

${ \tt{y = mx + c}}$

m is slope
c is y-intercept

 Slope (m):

${ \tt{m = \frac{ - 1 - ( - 5)}{ - 6 - 0} }} \\ \\ { \tt{m = \frac{4}{ - 6} }} \\ \\ { \tt{m = - \frac{2}{3} }}$

 y-intercept (c):

${ \tt{y = mx + c}}$

consider point (0, -5)

${ \tt{ - 5 = c}} \\ { \tt{c = - 5}}$

Equation:

${ \boxed{ \tt{y = - \frac{2}{3} x - 5}}}$

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

bija089 [108]

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