Question

What is the slope of any line perpendicular to the line passing through `(-3,-4)` and `(-2,-3)`?

Answer 1

`color(blue)("Slope of perpendicular line " m_1 = -1/m = -1`

Explanation:

Given points `(-3,-4), (-2, -3)`

`"Slope of given line " m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)`

`m = (-3+4) / (-2 + 3) = 1`

`color(blue)("Slope of perpendicular line " m_1 = -1/m = -1`
