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, then the slope of n is denote as:
n = -1/m
n = -1/-6/5
n = -1*-5/6
n = 5/6
