Question

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3/8 is
*-8/3
*3/8
*8/3

Answer 1

do you know what is meant by "perpendicular"

Answer 2

Right?

Answer 3

well, I mean for the slope

Answer 4

Haha, uh, no..

Answer 5

ok, when it is asked to be perpendicular it means that the slope needs to be opposite reciprocal
what that means, for example if I have a slope of 2, opposite reciprocal would be -1/2
or if I have 3/4, opposite reciprocal would be -4/3

Answer 6

So i'd be -8/3?

Answer 7

good job
