Answer: 3/5

Explanation:

concept to know: the slope of perpendicular line is always opposite reciprocal

----------------------

Step 1. Find the slope of line t

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

=(4-9)/(10-7)

=-5/3

-------------------

Step 2. Apply the concept

Opposite reciprocal of (-5/3)=3/5

Hope this helps!! :)
