Concept explainers
To find: the slope of a line.
Answer to Problem 50E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The line is perpendicular to another line whose equation is
Calculation:
Rewrite the line equation in slope intercept form to find the slope as follows:
The slope of line perpendicular to other is the negative reciprocal of the other line. The slope of line perpendicular to
Thus, the slope of required line is
