Question

Line j is perpendicular to line k. if the slope of line j is 5/2 find the slope of line k

Answer 1

We have the following, if line j is perpendicular to line k, the slope of line k is the inverse and negative value of the slope of the line j:

`mj=(5)/(2)\rightarrow mk=-(2)/(5)`

Then, the slope of the line k is
