The equation of line CD is (y−3) = − 2 (x − 4). What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line CD? A.1 over 2 B.2 C.negative 1 over 2 D.−2

rishavraj (rishavraj):

if two lines are perpendicualr to each other then the product of their slope is -1. In other words slope of one line is negative reciprocal of other

OpenStudy (emsxx3_):

so its C or D?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

u tell me.... whts the slope od CD ??

OpenStudy (emsxx3_):

-2

rishavraj (rishavraj):

whts the negative reciprocal of -2 ??

OpenStudy (emsxx3_):

0.5

rishavraj (rishavraj):

I mean if \[- 2~ \times ~x~ = -1\] find x ...

rishavraj (rishavraj):

and yeah 0.5 = 1 over 2

OpenStudy (emsxx3_):

so the answers A

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yeah :)

OpenStudy (emsxx3_):

thank you so much

rishavraj (rishavraj):
