Question

Helper will get a medal! 
Give the slope of a line perpendicular to (-2, 0), (1, -4)
I got 3/4 but I don't know for sure...

ajspeller · Answer

Find the slope given the equation posted by jim_thompson.  Then convert that slope to its negative reciprocal which makes it perpendicular.

Say you found the slope to be 4/5.  The perpendicular slope has to be -5/4.

yeah I deleted my post when I realized you had the correct answer all along lol

arbyj · Answer

@DanJS i was just unsure about the answer

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the original slope is -4/3

flip the sign and the fraction to get 3/4
