Question

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line passing through the points (8,2) and (3,1)?

Answer 1

let slope of line perpendicular to line be m
-1/m=1-2/3-8
m=-5

Answer 2

Hi!

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope=y_2-y_1,x_2-x_1$

$\frac{1-2}{3-8}=\frac{-1}{-5}=-\frac{1}{5}$

Slope is -1/5

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
