Answer:
The slope on line D is 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:
To find a perpendicular gradient, you must flip the denominator and numerator and make reverse the numerator (if it is positive then make it negative, vice versa)

Answer:3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the slope of two perpendicular lines = -1

Slope of C =-2/3

Slope of D =d

d × -2/3=-1

d = -1÷ -2/3=1×3/2

=3/2
