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.

Answer:

$\beta = 28.610$

Step-by-step explanation:

in this case we have a right angled triangle, whenever you see this triangle think of the TRIG RATIOS * sin, cos & tan* but if it was another triangle besides right angled triangle you use SINE RULE OR COSINE RULE

SOLUTION

$\tan( \beta ) = \frac{opposite}{adjecent} \\ \tan( \beta ) = \frac{6}{11} \\ \beta = tan(inverse)( \frac{6}{11} ) \\ \beta = 28.61045$
