the red line has a positive slope since it goes up as you move from left to right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

also, if you have a slope of -2/3, to find the perpendicular slope, you flip the fraction and you flip the sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're close, remember that after you flip, you multiply by -1, so in your case: -2/3, flip to get -3/2, then multiply by -1 to get 3/2!

oh so it's 3/2 ? :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
