Question

Given the rectangle ABCD, AB has a slope of 2/3, what is the slope of BC?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

note that BC is perpendicular to AB, hence the slope of BC is the negative reciprocal of the slope of AB

$m_{BC}$ = - $\frac{1}{2/3}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$
