Identify the slope of the line perpendicular to: y = (3/5)x + 10

Answer 1

a perpendicular line's slope is the negative inverse of 3/5

= -5/3

just change the sign and flip the fraction upside down

the slope of the given line y=(3/5)x + 10 is 3/5, the coefficient of the x term

when the linear equation is solved for y
