What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the graph of y=1/6x+8 ?
Select one:
-6

6

1/6

-1/6

A. -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line that is perpendicular to the graph y = ⅙x + 8, is a negative reciprocal of the slope of the graph, y = ⅙x + 8.

What this means is that, if you multiply the slope of y = ⅙x + 8, and the slope of the line perpendicular to it, you would have -1. That is .

Where,

= slope of y = ⅙x + 8.

= slope of the line perdendicular to y = ⅙x + 8.

The slope of y = ⅙x + 8 is ⅙.

Substitute = ⅙ into , to find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the graph of y = ⅙x + 8.

Multiply both sides by 6

The slope of the line that is perpendicular to the graph of y = ⅙x + 8 is -6.

not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. so proving is like doing science, it is science. that's why it is important to prove. 

an inaccurate proof leads to errors, or stating results that are not accurate.  which wil mess the probelm up you dont want this
