Question

Which is greater? Line l has slope > 1.

A. Slope of line p

B. -1

Answer 1

line decreasing = negative slope
line increasing = positive slope

Answer 2

Does the perpendicular line have anything to do with this problem?

Answer 3

perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocal

Answer 4

Hey but the answer says that A is greater than B

Answer 5

The answer is B -_-

Answer 6

no it's A

Answer 7

sorry i had to go

Answer 8

Lets take the slope of line l as n
n>1
We knw that the lines r perpendicular so the product of their slopes = - 1
Let the slope of line p be m

So n x m= - 1
m= - 1/n

Now u knw that n>1 and m= - 1/n
What can u cmnt abt the value of m will it be more than - 1 or less than it.
