Please help! I need to know how to do this for school. Line e passes through points (1, 12) and (6, 3). Line f is perpendicular to e. What is the slope of line f?


Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Please answer if possible! Thank you!!! :)



Answer :

The slope of line f which is perpendicular to the line e is 5/9

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depends on other variable while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variable.

Line e passes through points (1, 12) and (6, 3), the equation is:

y - 12 = [(3 - 12)/(6 - 1)](x - 1)

y = -(9/5)x + 13.8

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1.

Since line f is perpendicular to e, hence:

Slope of line f = 5/9

The slope of line f which is perpendicular to the line e is 5/9
