What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the points (4, 7) and (9, 3)?
+14931 Hello Guest!
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to
the line that passes through the points P1 (4, 7) and P2 (9, 3)?
m1 \( = \frac{y2 -x2}{y1-x1} \)
\(m1 = \frac{3- 9}{7- 4} \)
m1 = - 2
The slope of the perpendicular function is the
negative reciprocal of the slope of the output function.
m2 = - 1 / m1
\(m2 = \frac{- 1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2} \)
The slope of the perpendicular function is
\(m2 = \frac{1}{2} \)
