Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y = x - 7  Choose the correct choice from the following options:  A) 1  B) 2  C) - 1  D) 4  E) 5

Rationale: two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is equal to - 1 . the slope of the given line is equal to 1 . if m is the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line , then m × 1 = - 1 solve for m m = - 1 correct answer c ) - 1
Answer: C
