Answer:

3/2 is the slope of red line

Explanation:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line is the reciprocal.

The reciprocal is when the numerator and denominator switch places. For example, the reciprocal of 2/3 us 3/2

We know that the slope of green line is 2/3.

So all we got to do is to find the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2 as listed above.

So the slope of the red line is 3/2.

This is correct because i just learned this like 2 weeks ago and got good scores
