Question

Help plz with this problems

Answer 1

To find the perpendicular slope, we simply flip the fraction (aka reciprocal) and flip the sign (go from positive to negative, or vice versa)

So for problem 1a) we flip the fraction to go from 4/3 to 3/4. Then we flip the sign to go from +3/4 to -3/4. The final answer to problem 1a) is -3/4

The answer to problem 1b) is 7/3 following the same basic steps: -3/7 ---> -7/3 ---> 7/3

The answer to problem 1c) is -1/4. You can think of 4 as 4/1 which flips to 1/4 and it becomes -1/4

I'll let you try out the rest 1d and 1e. Tell me what you get so I can check your answers.
