Question

The slope of a line is 2/3 . What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line?


-3/2
-2/3
2/3
3/2

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:    -3/2

Discussion:  Assuming neither line is vertical or horizontal the product of the slopes of two perpendicular  lines is always -1.  We are told the slope of a line is 2/3. The slope of the perpendicular line, "m", is

m * (2/3) = -1

or

m= -3/2

Thank you,

MrB
