Try drawing a line that has a slope of 3/8 then drawing a line that is perpendicular on graph paper. Determine the slope of that line.

i think its 8/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that is correct.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

perpendicular needs to be opposite reciprocal, that would be -8/3

change sign and switch number
