What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = −14x – 1?

Answer :

Answer:

        m = ¹/₁₄

Step-by-step explanation:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁×m₂ = -1

{Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1}

y = -14x - 1   ⇒   m₁ = -14

-14×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = ¹/₁₄

So, the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = -14x - 1 is m = ¹/₁₄
