Answer:
y= –1/x
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular = gradients are the inverse of each other or in other words, gradient 1×gradient 2 = –1
Examples of perpendicular gradients:
2 and –1/2
2/4 and -4/2
When inversing a number:
Change the sign (– to +/ + to –)
Swap the numerator with the denominator (1/2 becomes 2/1, or simply 2)
