What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 12x-9y=135 fully reduce your answer
\n" ); document.write( "

Since in this case, just the slope is needed, we need to solve for y, and compare it to the standard linear equation, 
\n" );
document.write( "y = mx + b, more specifically, \"m.\"
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "The slope you're looking for is the negative reciprocal of  \n" );
