Answer:

The friend's claim is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal yo -1)

Example

A given line has a slope of m_1=1/2  ---> (is less than 1)

the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is equal to

m_1*m_2=-1

substitute

(1/2)*m_2=-1

m_2=-2

so

the perpendicular line don't have a positive slope

therefore

The friend's claim is not correct
