8. What is the slope of a line perpendicular to

the line y = - 3x - 2

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, is m.

This means the slope of y=-3x-2 is - 3.

If a line is perpendicular to the one given, it will have the opposite reciprocal slope.

The opposite of - 3 is 3.

The reciprocal of 3 is 1/3.

Therefore, the opposite reciprocal of - 3 is 1/3.
