-1/3
1/3
3
Explanation:

y = -4x + 12 and y = -1/4x - 3
y = 5x - 1 and y = -1/5x + 4
Explanation:

The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. In this case, (3) * (2/3) = -1. Therefore, the lines y = 3x - 2 and y = 2/3x + 1 are perpendicular.

15. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to y = -2x + 1 that passes through the point (1, 3)?

y = -1/2x + 3
Explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to y = -2x + 1 is the negative reciprocal of -2, which gives 1/2. Using the point-slope formula with the point (1, 3), we get y = 1/2x + 3.
