Question

Find the slope of the line n  perpendicular to line h and passing through point P.

  1. 7
  2. fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator 7 end fraction
  3. -1
  4. -7

hintHint:

As we know that when two lines are perpendicular their product would be -1. So to find line n which is perpendicular to h we need to find the slope of h then we will get slope of line n

The correct answer is: 7


    The slope of the line h ,m = fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction
    equals fraction numerator negative 4 minus left parenthesis negative 3 right parenthesis over denominator 2 minus left parenthesis negative 5 right parenthesis end fraction
equals fraction numerator negative 4 plus 3 over denominator 7 end fraction
equals fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator 7 end fraction
    slope of the line n perpendicular to h= fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator m end fraction equals 7
