The slope of the red line that is perpendicular to the green line is: -5/2.
<h3>What are the Slope Values of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>When one line lies perpendicular to another line, the slope of one must be the negative reciprocal of the other line.
<h3>What is the Negative Reciprocal of a Number?</h3>If given a number, i.e. a/b, the negative reciprocal of a/b would the opposite value of the reciprocal of a/b.
Reciprocal of a/b is b/a. Negative reciprocal of a/b would therefore be: -b/a.
Given that the slope of the green line is: 2/5. And it is perpendicular to the red line. The slope of the red line would be the negative reciprocal of 2/5.
Negative reciprocal of 2/5 is -5/2.
Therefore, the slope of the red line is: -5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:
3. Use Cosine law to find the length of the unknown side (PR)
q² = p² + r² - 2prCos Q
q is the opposite side of ∠Q;
p is the opposite side of ∠P; p = 33
r is the opposite sides of ∠R ; r = 67
q² = 33² + 67² - 2* 33*67 Cos 19°
= 1089 + 4489 - 4422 * 0.95
= 1089 + 4489 - 4200.9
= 1377.1
q = √1377.1
q = 37.1
PR = 37.1
To find the angle use law of sin
Sin P = 0.3
P = 17.5°
∠R = 180 - (19 + 17.5)
= 143.5°
