Question 74644: Find the slope of any line perpendicular to the line through points (6, 3) and (7, 7). Found 2 solutions by funmath, checkley75:Answer by funmath(2933) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the slope of any line perpendicular to the line through points (6, 3) and (7, 7).
The slope between these two points can be found using the slope formula:
m=slope (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.
(x1,y1)=(6,3) and (x2,y2)=(7,7) let's stop here rather than saying m=4
A slope of any line perpendicular to this line will be the the negative reciprocal of this slope. (That means it will have the opposite sign and be upside down.)
Happy Calculating!!!!
You can put this solution on YOUR website! SLOPE OF A LINE THROUGH THES TWO POINTS IS:
(7-3)/(6-7)
4/-1
-1 IS THE SLOPE OF THIS LINE.
THEREFORE THE LINE PERPENDICULAR TO THIS LINE IS THE NEGATIVE RECIPRICAL OF THIS SLOPE WHICH IS +1.
