Question 402862: My question is "Find the slope of the line perpendicular to 3x + 14y = -18. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.' Below is the work i did to solve the problem
My Work: 3x+14y= -18
14y= -3x-18
y= -3/14x-9/7
m perpendicular = 14/3
m perpendicular = 4.7

You are correct, the slope is 4.7; however, you're not going to say y = 4.7 since y is NOT the slope. Instead you should say m = 4.7 since m is commonly referred to as the slope.

Looks right to me. Except that I would label the answer in the last two steps as "m perpendicular", not "y".
