line d has a slope of 7/3. line e is perpendicular to line d. what is the slope of line e?

Sagot :

hello!

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

This means we take a number, flop it over, and change its sign.

Here we have the number:-

[tex]\boxed{\frac{7}{3}}[/tex]

Flop it over:-

[tex]\boxed{\frac{3}{7} }\longleftarrow\sf{the~numerator~and~denominator~switch~places}[/tex]

Change its sign:-

[tex]\boxed{-\frac{3}{7}}[/tex]

Hence, the slope of line e is:-

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{Slope=-\frac{3}{7}}}}[/tex]
