A line has a slope of 9 what is the slope of a line it is perpendicular to this line? * 9
-9
1/9
-1/9

-1/9

Explanation: Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

A negative reciprocal slope is a fancy way of

saying flip the fraction and change the sign.

Notice that our slope is an integer.

We can turn it into a fraction by putting it over 1.

So we have 9/1.

A line perpendicular to this would be a negative reciprocal.

So flip the fraction, giving us 1/9, and change the sign to get -1/9.

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
