Question 909074: Write the slope of a line that is parallel to and perpendicular to y=6x-3.
Please explain how to get the answer. I have other problems and do not understand how to do it. Thank you.
Answer by Alan3354(69443)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the slope of a line that is parallel to and perpendicular to y=6x-3.
-------------
y = mx + b is slope-intercept form.
m = slope, b = y-intercept
-----------
y = 6x-3 is in slope-intercept form (meaning it's solved for y).
In that form, the coefficient of x is the slope.
--> slope m = 6
All lines parallel have the same slope, 6.
-----
All lines perpendicular have a slope that's the negative inverse, -1/6
====================
That's all there is to that.
Know that.
