16.)
to find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line , first write this line in slope-intercept form where is a slope and is y-intercept:
....solve for

so, the slope of this line is:
the slope of the line that is perpendicular to this line will have a slope negative reciprocal of the slope which is
