Question 87785: The key is to find the slope of the line between the two given points, then use that value to determine the slope of a perpendicular line.
16) Find the slope of any line perpendicular to the line through points (0, 5)
and (-3, -4).
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope of the line through the points (0,5)&(-3,-4)=M= y2-y1/x2-x1
=--4-5/-3-0
=-9/-3
=3
slope of the line perpendicular to the given line m1.m2=-1
slpoe of the required line = m2=-1/3
