Question

Line m is perpendicular to the line that passes through the points (5,6) and (6,10). What is the slope of line m?

Answer 1

Answer: -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line whose points are given is $\frac{10-6}{6-5}=4$.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, so the answer is -1/4.
