Question

Line d has a slope of –7 4 . Line e is perpendicular to d . What is the slope of line e ? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

4/7

Explanation:

If the slope of line d is -7/4, then the slope of a perpendicular is 4/7.

Given a slope, to find the slope of a perpendicular, flip the fraction and change the sign.

Flip -7/4 to get -4/7. Then change the sign of -4/7 to get 4/7.

Answer: 4/7
