Question

The slope of EF is - 3/2.
Which segments are perpendicular to EF?

LM, where L is at (1,8) and M is at (3,11). Slope is 3/2
NP, where N is at (0,-3) and P is at (2,-6). Slope is 3/2
JK, where J is at (14,-1) and K is at (5,-7). Slope is 2/3
GH, where G is at (1,7) and H is at (4,9). Slope is 2/3

Answer 1

Remember that the slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal.
For example, the opposite reciprocal of -3/2 would be 2/3

Answer 2

oh okay! and can I ask you "would the opposite reciprocal of -3 would be 3?"

Answer 3

so the answer to this would be C and D

Answer 4

yyayyy

Answer 5

yayy :) thank you both

Answer 6

No problem!
