Question

1aGiven a line with a slope of , what is the slope of any line that liesperpendicular to it?O A. -6оB.13O c.23O D. 3O E.-103O F.-3

Answer 1

`-3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line

The first condition to understand is that the second line is perpendicular to the first

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is equal to -1

Mathematically, let us call the slope of the second line m2

Thus:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)*\text{ m}_2\text{ = -1} \\ \\ m_2\text{ = -1 }*\text{ 3} \\ m_2\text{ = -3} \end{gathered}`
