Points (2, 0) and (0, 3) lie on line k. Which is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st find the gradient of line k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gradient, m=(coordinate-y2 minus coordinate-y1)/(coordinate-x2 minus coordinate-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perpendicular to k meaning that m1 x m2=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you find yr 1st gradient m1 you will be able to find m2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then sub yr coordinate of x and y axis into y= M2(x)+c in order to find yr c and that gives u an equation
