Question

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to a line through the given points. E(5, 7), F(3, 1)

Answer 1

-1/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: -1/3

Explanation:

The slope of the given line is
`(7-1)/(5-3)=(6)/(2)=3`.

Thus, since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, the answer is -1/3
