What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with slope –9?

The answer is 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for the slope of a perpendicular line to a given, you have to flip the opposite reciprocal.

First take the number and flip the reciprocal, in this case -9 turns into -1/9.

Then flip the sign, like making a negative to a positive or a positive to a negative. In this case make -1/9 into 1/9

Therefore the answer is 1/9.

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
