The perpendicular line would have a slope of A) -3/2.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes.

To do the opposite, take the original slope (2/3) and change the sign (-2/3).

To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-2/3) and flip it as a fraction (-3/2).

This gives us a new slope of -3/2.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

left, right

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the < or ≤ symbol to compare the numbers, their left-right order is the same as on the number line. Here, we would write the ordering as ...

-21 < -20 < -19

So, we see that ...

-21 is left of -20 on the number line

-19 is right of -20 on the number line
