What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is x - y = 6. Fully simplify your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y = 6

change into slope intercept form y=mx+b

y= -x +6

the number infront of X is the slope...so-1/1 would be your slope

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the answer is -1 or -1/1

y = -1 x

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular lines = opposite reciprocal slopes

opposite = like if one is negative, the other is not, vice versa

reciprocal = -1/2's reciprocal is -2, or 2/4's reciprocal is 4/2

x - y = 6

- y = 6 - x

y = -6 + x

y = x - 6

slope = 1

opposite reciprocal of 1 is -1.

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
