Find the slope of the line which is perpendicular to x/3 - 2y = 4 .

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Given, Comparing above equation with y = mx + c we get, Slope = . Let slope of perpendicular line be m. Since, product of slopes of perpendicular lines = -1. ∴ m × = -1 ⇒ m = -6. Hence, slope of the line perpendicular to the line is -6.
