Question

What slope is perpendicular to m= 5/8
m=-5/8
m=5/8
m=-8/5
m=8/5

Answer 1

C)
`m =(-8)/(5)`

The slope of the perpendicular line
`m =(-8)/(5)`

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the slope of the given line is

`m =(5)/(8)`

The slope of the perpendicular line

=
`(-1)/(m)`

The slope of the perpendicular line

=
`(-1)/((5)/(8) )`

Final answer

The slope of the perpendicular line

`m =(-8)/(5)`
