Question

Can u help me with the orginal slope and perpendicular slope. And tell me where to plot the points

Answer 1

Answer:  The original slope is 1.  

To plot the line with  perpendicular slope, try coordinates (0,0) and (6,-6)

The perpendicular slope is negative 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rise is 6, the run is 6.

6/6 = 1

The slope of the perpendicular line is the reciprocal of the original slope. and has the opposite sign-- switch neg to pos or pos to neg.

If the original slope is 2, the perpendicular will be -1/2

Reciprocal means the number (usually a fraction) that you multiply by the original number to get 1 as the product. 3×1/3 = 1 . 1/5×5 = 1

Since 1 is already 1, 1 is the reciprocal of itself!
