Question

Line FG is represented by the equation 8x+3y=10. Which value is the slope of a line perpendicular to line FG

A.-3/8

B.-1/8

C.3/8

D.8/3

Answer 1

C. 3/8

Explanation:

Since line FG is represented by an equation in standard form, Ax + By = C, the slope of the line is equal to -a/b.

So, the slope of line FG is -8/3

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. So, a line perpendicular to line FG will have a slope equal to 3/8.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 3/8

Explanation:

It was in my practice and I had gotten it correct.
