Question

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to a line through the given points. E(5, 7), F(3, 1)

Answer 1

Answer: -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is $\frac{7-1}{5-3}=\frac{6}{2}=3$.

Thus, since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, the answer is -1/3
