Question

Formula of find the slope of a line perpendicular to another line joining the points (-5, 3)(2,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope =-7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of line perpendicular to another can be found by this formula.

M1×M2 = -1

Slope of a line = y1-y2/x1-x2

Let 'l' be the line consisting (-5,3) &(2,6) as the points.

l slope= 6-3/ 2+5 = 3/7

Slope of line perpendicular to 'L'

M1×M2=-1

Let slope of line perpendicular to 'l' be m2

3/7 ×M2=-1

M2= -7/3

Hope this helps ☺
