Question

Line m is perpendicular to the line that passes through the points (5,6) and (6,10). What is the slope of line m?

Answer 1

Answer: -1/4

Explanation:

The slope of the line whose points are given is
`(10-6)/(6-5)=4`.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, so the answer is -1/4.
