Find the slope of the line perpendicular to y = - 8/11x + 4

mp = 11/8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 8/11x + 4

This line is in the form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

m = - 8/11

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to - 1

-8/11 * mp = - 1

Multiply each side by - 11/8

-11/8 * - 8/11 * mp = - 1 * -11/8

mp = 11/8

The perpendicular slope is 11/8
