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

N

N N

slope=x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another will have the negative reipricol of the first slope. For example:

-1/3 = 3

-6 = 1/6

4 = - 1/4

The equation is written in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

M is the slope. In the given equation, the slope is - x, which can also be written as - 1x. The negative reipricol of - 1x is 1x, or just x.

The slope of the perpendicular line is x.
