Question

Lines sand tare perpendicular. If the slope of line sis 5, what is the slope of
line t?

Answer 1

-1/5

Explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the opposite reciprocal of one another.

The slope of line t is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of line s:

slope of t = -1/(slope of s)

slope of t = -1/5
