Line m passes through points (7, 5) and (9, 10). Line n passes through points (3, 1) and (7, 10). Are line m and line n parallel or perpendicular Slope of line m is: (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) (10 - 5)/(9 - 7) 5/2 Slope of line n is: (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) (10 - 1)/(7 - 3) 9/4 Run 3 checks on the...

If MN is perpendicular to PQ and the slope of PQ is -4 what is the slope for MN the slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal. Therefore: Slope of MN = -1/Slope of PQ Slope of MN = -1/-4 Slope of MN = 1/4

Line m passes through points (3, 16) and (8, 10). Line n is perpendicular to m. What is the slope of line n? First, find the slope of the line m passing through points (3, 16) and (8, 10). Typing the points into our search engine, we get a slope of: m = -6/5 If line n is perpendicular to m...
