Answer:
Perpendicular slope is
or
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let the perpendicular slope be x.
The given slope is 
For perpendicular slopes, the product of the slopes is equal to -1.
Therefore, 
Therefore, the perpendicular slope is
or
.
6(x-2.5) ≥ 8-6(3.5+x)
A number is before a parenthesis. The first step is to multiply.
6(x-2.5) = 6x -15
8-6(3.5+x)
2(3.5+x)= 7+2x
6x-15≥7+2x
Now solve
6x-15≥7+2x
-2x -2x
(-2x+2x)= They cancel out
(6x-2x)= 4x
4x-15≥7
+15 +15
4x≥22
/4 /4
You get= x≥5.5
(X1=1, y1=7) and (x2= -4, y2 =-8)
Slope = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-8-7)/(-4-1)= -15/-5=3
Slope is 3
