Answer: 7/2

Explanation:

Since we know that the property of perpendicular lines says that the product of slopes of two perpendicular line is -1 .

Let m be the slope of line which is perpendicular to the line with slope
(-2)/(7)

Therefore by the property of perpendicular lines we have


m*(-2)/(7)=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=(7)/(2)

Hence , the The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is -2/7 is 7/2.
