Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = x + 5?

Answer 1

we know eq. of line is y=mx+c where m is the slope

given line (L1)is y=x+5 therefore its slope is 1 (=m1)

let line perpendicular to L1 have slope m2

then

product of slopes of perpendicular line is -1

therefore, m1×m2= -1

hence m2= -1 ____ans.

Answer 2

Answer:

we know eq. of line is y=mx+c where m is the slope

given line (L1)is y=x+5 therefore its slope is 1 (=m1)

let line perpendicular to L1 have slope m2

then

product of slopes of perpendicular line is -1

therefore, m1×m2= -1

hence m2= -1
