The slope of the given line is the change in y, which is 9, over

the corresponding change in x, which is 3, giving a slope of

3. The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1,

so the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line will be

that number by which you have to multiply 3 to obtain -1, so,

3*S=-1, so

S=-1/3. Hope this helps, Twiggy.
