Question: how to find the slope of a line perpendicular to each given line?
Answer: To find the slope of the given line we need to get the line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), which means we need to solve for y: The slope of the line 8x + 6y = 15 is m = –4/3. Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to this line would have to be m = 3/4. Step 2: Use the slope to find the y-intercept.
