Question

Please help me answer this.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m of the line given using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0,3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2)

m = $\frac{2-3}{3-0}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{3} }$ = 3 → (a)
