HURRY What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown on the graph A2 B12 C12 D2 class=

Respuesta :

(0,1)(-1,-1)
slope = (1+1)/(0+1) = 2
perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal
so slope = -1/2

answer
B)-1/2

Answer:

slope of perpendicular line = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find  the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown on the graph

To find slope of the given line , we pick two points from the graph

(0,1) and (1,3)

[tex]slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{3-1}{1-0} = 2[/tex]

Slope of given line = 2

slope of perpendicular line = negative reciprocal of slope of given line

slope of perpendicular line = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
