Question

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to a line through the given points.

E(5, 7), F(3 , 1)

Answer 1

E-F is the key

Answer 2

or F-E ... but it turns out the same

Answer 3

y/x = parallel

-x/y = perp

Answer 4

E(5, 7)
-F(3 , 1)
--------
x , y

can you tell me the values i get for x and y?

Answer 5

1= Slope of the line passing through the given points= 7-1/5-3 =6/2 = 3..........................1
m2 = slope of line perpendicular to the given line....................................…

m1*m2 = -1
3*m2 = -1
m2 = -1/3....................................…

Answer 6

So it's -1/3?
