Calc Perpendicular Slope

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with slope ^-6/₅ ?

• ^-6/₅

• ^-5/6

• ⁵/₆

• ^-4/₃

y = -2/3x + 2
y = 3/2x + 9
These lines are...

• Parallel

• Perpendicular

• Neither

Write the equation of a line PERPENDICULAR to the line y = 3x + 2 that passes through the point (9, -2)

• y = -1/3x + 2

• y = 3x + 2

• y = 1/3x -5

• y = -1/3x +1

What kind of slopes do perpendicular lines have?

• Reciprocal

• Opposite Reciprocal

• Same

• Opposite

• A
• B
• C
• D

Slopes of perpendicular lines are...

• opposite reciprocals

• opposites

• identical

• always negative

Slopes of perpendicular lines are ​ (a)   sign and ​ (b)  

• opposite

• reciprocals

• same

• inverses

• equal

Graph a line that goes through the point (-3, 4) and is perpendicular to  y = 3/2x + 6?

Identify the NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL of each slope in order to form PERPENDICULAR slopes.

• slope: -6

• slope: 6

• neg. reciprocal: -6
