Answer:

the perpendicular slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope .

Step-by-step explanation:

example:  lets use the points (5,3) ( 10,7)

                 The slope is 5/4

so we need a line of    -4/5 (perpendicular) that passes through 5,3

Hope that helps

Based on the graph, what is the initial value of the linear relationship?
alex41 [277]

Answer: two over three

Step-by-step explanation:

y=ax+b

line intercepts y at (0,-2)

Therefore, y=ax-2

Substitute x = 3 in y =ax-2

y=3a-2

To find the x-intercept, y = 0

3a-2=0\\3a=2\\a=\frac{2}{3}

The slope is 2/3

y-intercept is -2

So two over three
