(9, - 8)

$(9, - 8)$ ,

M = - 1

$M = - 1$

Step 1

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is

y = m x + b

$y = m x + b$ , where

m

$m$ is the slope and

b

$b$ is the y-intercept.

y = m x + b

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is Undefined.

m = Undefined

$m = Undefined$

Undefined

Step 2

The perpendicular line is horizontal and the slope is

0

$0$ .

y = - 8

$y = - 8$
