Line l has a slope of...
Hey there! :)
Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line to 2/3 will be the reciprocal and negative of this fraction. Therefore:
Slope of perpendicular line = -3/2.
Remember, the equation for solving for the slope is:
[tex]m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
We must find points that when plugged into this equation, equal to -3/2.
Plugging in the points in option A:
[tex]\frac{2}{3} \neq \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]
Option B:
[tex]\frac{3}{4} \neq \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]
Option C: This is the correct answer.
[tex]\frac{-3}{2} = \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]
Option D:
[tex]\frac{2}{10}\neq \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]
