Answer 2

Always -1

Answer 3

It isn't. Show your work though

Answer 4

Perpendicular lines are always the opposite reciprocal of the original line. So if the original line is 5, what is the opposite reciprocal of 5?

Answer 5

Shouldn't it be -1?

Answer 6

Ohhh yeah negative because perpendicular lines are always negative reciprocals right?

Answer 7

If it is perpendicular, it is the NEGATIVE reciprocals!

Answer 8

Yeah, if you think about it a number times the opposite reciprocal would be -1.
\[x \times(-1/x)=-x/x=-1\]

Answer 9

The lines below are perpendicular. If the green line has a slope of \[-\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\] what is the slope of the other line

Answer 10

What about this ,, this would be -3/2? or just 3-2

Answer 11

What is the negative reciprocal of that slope?

Answer 12

you have to flip the sign and the fraction

Answer 13

so just 3/2

Answer 14

Yeah

Answer 15
