Question

Lines s and t are perpendicular. If the slope of line s is 5, what is the slope of

line t?
А. -1/5
B. -5
C. 1/5
D. 5

Answer 1

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is an established mathematical proof that the slope of line A perpendicular to another line B is the recoprovaknofokad

Hence the slope of B = the negative reciprocal of B

Given that ; lines s and t are perpendicular ;

Slope of S = 5 ;

The slope of T = - 1/5
