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...

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

you are right, what are you unsure about

Answer 3

@jim_thompson5910 yes

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

@DanJS i was just unsure about the answer

Answer 6

the original slope is -4/3

flip the sign and the fraction to get 3/4

Answer 7

i mean the process to get the answer,
