Question

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y=8x+1

Answer 1

Answer:

y = (-1/8)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to find the negative inverse of the slope:

slope = 8

slope = 8/1

inverse = 1/8

negative inverse = (-1/8)

Answer 2

answer: The equation of a perpendicular line to

y=8x-1

must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
