Answer:

The slope of m is: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line: x - 6y = -1

Solve  for y:

-6y = -1 -x

y = -x/-6 - 1/-6

y = 1/6x + 1/6, the slope of this line is 1/6

The slope of the given line is 1/6. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative inverse. The negative inverse of 1/6 is -6.

Hope this helps!  Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
