Answer:

The slope of st is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

[tex]m1*m2=-1[/tex]

we have

[tex]m1=3[/tex]

substitute and solve for m2

[tex](3)*m2=-1[/tex]

[tex]m2=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

therefore

The slope of st is -1/3
