Answer:
-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
One can read off the slope of the given line directly from the graph. As x increases by 3, y increases by 2. Thus, the slope of the given line is
m = rise / run = 2 / 3
Any line perpendicular to this given line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of the slope previously found:
-1 3
Slope of perpendicular line = ------------ = - -----
2/3 2
This matches the first of the given possible answer choices.
