Question

Find the slope of a line PERPENDICULAR TO LM:
L(3,-5), M(-4, -1)

Answer 1

`\frac{7}4`

Explanation:

First, we need to find the slope, which is defined as the change in y over the change in x:

`(-5-(-1))/(3-(-4)) = (-4)/(7)`

To find a slope that's perpendicular to that, we just take the negative reciprocal of that slope, which is
`\frac{7}4`.

I hope this helped.
