HOLD ON I GOT DIS.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope is 7 @ganeshie8 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yep, slope of AB = 7

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since CD is perpendicular to AB, the product of slopes will be -1 lets say slope of CD = x x*7 = -1 x = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = -1/7?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

correct !
