Find the slope of a line perpendicular to each given line. Y=-x-1

Answer 1

The equation for the line

y = -x -1 is written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where

m=slope

and b=y-intercept.

The slope of this line is (-1).

The slope of all perpendicular lines is the negative reciprocal, that is, (-1/m).

So, they all have a slope of: (-1/(-1)) = 1.

Answer 2

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocal of each other.

m and -1/m

-x and 1/x
