Question

What is the slope for a line that is perpendicular to the line x = -6?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is not a slope perpendicular to the lie x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, you are given a line, x = -6.

This is in fact a line with an undefined slope. The slope for a perpendicular intersection is the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

Eg. If you have the line y = 2x

The reciprocal is y = 1/2x, the opposite means negative

So the slope that would intersect this line perpendicularly is y = -1/2x.

There is an undefined slope in this, therefore, you cannot find the slope for a line perpendicular to x = -6.

If it were an option, I would choose "no slope"
