Question

The lines below are perpendicular.
the slope of the solid line iS 4, what is the slope of the dashed line?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{-1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. This means you change the sign and flip the numerator and denominator.

If the original slope is 4, the perpendicular slope is $\frac{-1}{4}$
