Answer 4

show me all the steps to answer plz

Answer 5

slope of a line is a, you need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that.

you take a multiplicative inverse of a, or 1/a
and flip it's sign if it was negative it becomes positive and if it was positive it becomes negative.
Can you find the slope of a perpendicular line?
