The coordinates of point E are (−9, −5) and the coordinates of point F are (−2, −1) . What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to EF¯¯¯¯¯? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction in the box.

Vocaloid:

first step: use the slope formula to calculate the slope between E and F

Sarah10:

ok

Sarah10:

so answer is 4/7?

Sarah10:

for the slope

Vocaloid:

second step: since we want the "perpendicular" slope we take 4/7, flip the numerator and denominator, then multiply by -1

Vocaloid:

so your answer = -7/4

Sarah10:

ohh i see thnx again !!
