Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope

a reciprocal is the inverse of a number, to find the reciprocal, just flip the numerator and denominator

in this cause, the slope is -1/3

the negative of it is 1/3 and the reciprocal is 3

therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3

<h3>Answer: 95 degrees</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

I recommend drawing it out to see what's going on. See the drawing below.

In the diagram, both angles are in the northeast corner of their four-corner configurations. They are both congruent corresponding angles. So that's why the second angle is also 95 degrees.

Side note: we could replace "northeast" with any of the other directions on the compass (such as southwest). All that matters is that they are in the same configuration.
