Question

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line passing through the points (-5 , 1) and (-2 , 0)?

Answer 1

slope=y2-yi/x2-x1

now

slope=0-1/-2-(-5)

=-1/3

Answer 2

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{0-1=-1}{(-2)-(-5)=-2+5=3}=-\frac{1}{3}$

Answer: $-\frac{1}{3}$

Slope is -1/3

Hope this helps!
