SOLUTION: Line p and q are perpendicular lines. The slope of line p is 1/5. Determine the slope of line q.

Question 932977: Line p and q are perpendicular lines. The slope of line p is 1/5. Determine the slope of line q.
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes:
---
slope of q = -1/(1/5)
slope of q = -1*(5/1)
slope of q = -5
