Question

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the segment with endpoints (2,0) and (-6,3)?

A. 8/3

B. 3/4

C. -4/3

D. -3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

A line that passes (2, 0) and (-6, 3) has slope:

S1 = (-6 -2)/(3 - 0) = -4/3

Another line that is perpendicular with above line has slope:

S2 = -1/S1 = -1/(-4/3) = 3/4

=> Option B is correct

Hope this helps
