You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the slope of the line perpendicular to x=3y
-----------
Rule: lines are perdicular if the product of their slopes is -1
--------------
Given line can be written as y = (1/3)x so
the given line has a slope of (1/3).
------------
Let "m" be the slope of the perpendicular line:
EQUATION:
(1/3)m = -1
m = -3
-----------
The slope of the line perpendicular to x = 3y is -3
