<h3>Answer: C) 4/7</h3>

Explanation:

The given equation is in the form y = mx+b with slope m = -7/4

Take the negative reciprocal of this to get 4/7. We simply flip the fraction and the sign (from negative to positive).

Note that multiplying any original slope with its perpendicular counterpart, will always get you -1

(-7/4)*(4/7) = -1

This applies to lines that are not vertical and not horizontal.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -7/4

Let the slope we want be m :

Then m * -7/4 = -1 ( as the slopes of perpendicular lines have a product of -1)

m = -1 / -7/4

= 1 * 4/7

= 4/7.

Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{85}}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(7, 6)

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse:

7² + 6² = c²

49 + 36 = c²

85 = c²

√85 = c

adjacent = 7, opposite = 6, hypotenuse = √85

sec θ = $\frac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{85}}{7}$
