First find the slope of the given line through (-3,5) and (4,-6)
The slope = difference in y co-ordinates/ difference in x co-ordinates
= (-6-5)/(4-(-3))
= -11/(4+3)
= -11/7
The slope of the line perpendicular to this line is given by:
slope = -1/slope of the given line [As product of the slopes of perpendicular
lines = -1]
= (-1)/ (-11/7)
= (-1)*(7/-11)
= 7/11
Required slope = 7/11
Good Luck!!!
