Question

the lines shown below are perpendicular. if the green line has a slope of 3/4, what is the slope of the red line
a)4/3
b)-3/4
c)-4/3
d) 3/4

Answer 1

perpendicular slope is opposite and reciprocal

the green line has a slope of 3/4
so the slope of the red line is -4/3

answer 
c)-4/3

Answer 2

The slope of the red line is -4/3. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Given that, the green line has a slope of 3/4.

We need to find the slope of the red line.

What is the formula to find the slope of the perpendicular line?

The formula for the slope of perpendicular lines is m1.m2 = -1. The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is equal to -1.

Since, m1=3/4.

Now, 3/4.m2 = -1

⇒m2 =-4/3

The slope of the red line is -4/3. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
