Question

Use the graph below to answer the question what is the slope of the weather is perpendicular to the line in the graph

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocal of one another i.e.

slope m1, of given line l1 = -1/slope m2, of its perpendicular line l2

slope m2, of its perpendicular line l2 = -1/slope m1, of given line l1

m2= -1/m1

Finding m1 from the given graph

m1= y2-y1/x2-x1

= -2-1/2+1

= -3/3

= -1

m2= -1/-1

= 1 !
