Question 58057: I can not find the correct answer to this one I got -5/1 for my answer. I need to find the slope of any line perpendicular to the line through points(0,5) (-3,-4)help me if you can.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+m+=+%28y2+-+y1%29%2F%28x2+-+x1%29+
Pt. 1 (0,5)
Pt. 2 (-3,-4)
+m+=+%28-4+-+5%29%2F%28-3+-+0%29+
+m+=+-9%2F-3+
+m+=+3+
So a line perpendicular to this would have a slope of -1/3
