Question

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is
12x – 9y = 135. Fully reduce your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is -9/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the given line:

12x - 9y = 135 → -9y = -12x + 135 → y = 12/9 - 15

The perpendicular slope is a slope that is the reciprocal and is the opposite charge of the given slope.

So the answer would be -9/12, which is 12/9 but flipped upside down and is negative.
