Find the Slope of a Perpendicular Line y=11x

$y = 11 x$

Step 1

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $11$ .

$m = 11$

Step 2

The equation of a perpendicular line to $y = 11 x$ must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

$m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{11}$
