Question

rst is a right angle. if rs has a slope of 3, what must be the slope of st? ​

Answer 1

$\huge\bf{Answer:-}$

The slope of st is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

WE know that ,If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

$m1*m2=-1$

We have ,m1=3

substitute and solve for m2

$(3)*m2=-1$

$m2=-\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, The slope of st is -1/3
