-(11+sqrt(121-4*18))/2 = -(11 +sqrt(49))/2 = -9
Or
-(11-sqrt(121-4*18))/2 = -(11-sqrt(49))/2 = -2
D is the answer
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
recall for a line whose equation is
y = mx + b,
the slope of this line is m
the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line is -
in this case,
m = -
hence -
=
1 / 10 is the easiest answer. Remember ratios are just percentages. It could also be 2/20, 3/30, as long as it is 10%.
