Answer:

FIRST OPTION: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular to each other, then their slopes are negative reciprocals.

In this case you can observe that that the slope of the line is \frac{1}{3} and you know that the other line is perpendicular to this line. Therefore, their slopes are negative reciprocals.

This means that:

If slope_1=\frac{1}{3} ,then  slope_2=-3

This matches with the first option.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

a=(2/5), b = (-2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

well slope formula is rise/run. So for the first one you start at the point  rise 2 run 5 and you reach the endpoint. That is how you know you got the correct slope.  (2/5)

For the second one you start at the first point and you cannot go up because it is a negative slope you run 6 till you hit the other point go down 2. Since you go down 2 that would make it -2.  (-2,6)
