Question

If the slope of line a is -4/3 and the slope of line b is 3/4 line a and line b are perpendicular

A: True
B: False
C: False most of the time

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

e Whenever you need to find the slope of a line, it is always the reciprocal with the opposite sign. For example, if your slope was 5, your slope to make it perpendicular would be -1/5. If you had the slope of -8/5, the perpendicular sope would 5/8.

Answer 2

hi! so for perpendicular it's negative reciprocal!

so is -4/3 and 3/4 negative reciprocals?

oh and remember reciprocals are flipped!

if you still don't get it let me know aha
