Question

Line C passes through the points (-6, -2) and (3,8). Line Fis perpendicular to Line C. What is the slope of Line F?

Answer 1

Answer:

-9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of line C is $m=\frac{8-(-2)}{3-(-6)}=\frac{10}{9}$.

The slope of any line perpendicular to line C is the negative (opposite) reciprocal of this slope.

The slope of line F is $-\frac{9}{10}$.
