Question

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown?

*please help
​

Answer 1

`m=(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula in order to find the slope of the line

`m=(-2-2)/(0-(-3)) \\m=(-4)/(3)`

For a line to be perpendicular, it must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal, so that means that we swap the numerator and denominator and then multiply it by -1, this means that

`m=(-4)/(3)\\\\m=(3)/(-4) \\\\m=(-3)/(-4) \\\\m=(3)/(4)`
