Plz help plz plz i need help with this question

Answer 1

Answer: the original slope is 3/2

The perpendicular slope is -2/3

Slope is rise/run

Step-by-step explanation: For the original slope get

Find coordinates where the graphed line crosses the grid lines at the intersections. Here, (0,-2) and (2,1) Count the number of squares vertically. That is the rise. It is the difference in y-values. It is the numerator of the fraction. Then count the squares horizontally to get the run. That is the denominator of the fraction.

It is possible to use the expression
`(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )` to calculate the slope.

`(1-(-2))/(2-0) = 3/2`

To find the perpendicular slope, reverse the sign and use the reciprocal of the original fraction.

The reciprocal of 3/2 is 2/3. The opposite sign is negative. -2/3
