Question

The equation of a line is. What will the slope be for a line that is perpendicular to this line?
m=-2/7
m= 2/7
m=7/2
m=-7/2

Answer 1

equation of line is?

Answer 2

To make a slope perpendicular, you just take the reciprocal on the opposite.

In other words, you flip the fraction, and multiply by -1.

so -2/1 becomes 1/2

Answer 3

the line is y=2/7x-5. sorry i forgot to put that in there!!!

Answer 4

compare it with y=mx+c
and tell me what is m(slope)

Answer 5

the slope is 2/7

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

now product of slope of perpendicular lines is -1
so m(2/7) =-1
can u find m from here

Answer 8

so it would b -1x-5?

Answer 9

what?

Answer 10

m(2/7) =-1
m= -7/2

Answer 11

ooh thanks ;D

Answer 12

welcome ^_^
