Question

Lines p and q are perpendicular. If the slope of line p is 2, what is the slope of
line a?

Answer 1

D. -½

Explanation:

Since line p and q we perpendicular to each other, thus, the slope of line q will be the negative reciprocal of the slope of line p.

Given that line p has a slope of 2, therefore, the slope of line q will be the negative reciprocal of 2.

Negative reciprocal of 2 = -½.

Slope of line q = -½.
