Question

the lines shown below are perpendicular. If the green line has a slope of -3/7 what is the slope of the red line?

Answer 1

-3/7

Explanation:

It's parallel so the slope is the same.

Answer 2

The red line, which is perpendicular, has a slope of 7/3

Explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

-3/7 * m = -1

Multiply by -7/3

-7/3 *-3/7 * m = -1*-7/3

m = 7/3

The red line, which is perpendicular, has a slope of 7/3
