__ The slope of any line perpendicular to AB , where A(0, -3) and B(4, 9) are two points on the line, is m =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a.-3 b.-1/3 c.3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

start wid finding the slope of AB

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do u knw how to find slope of two points ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u must be having slope formula in ur notes.. can u pls check if u have it ready and tell me the formula :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i wrote in the first post is all i got.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok, use this formula :- slope of two points = \(\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

using that first find the slope of AB. then u can use that value to find the slope thats perpendicular to AB.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

give it a try :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really still dont get it :/

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you wil get if u pay attention a bit

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

A(0, -3) and B(4, 9) x1 y1 x2 y2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just we need to plug them in the slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 1/3?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Answer : -1/3 you dont care how to solve...
