Question: the slope of a line is . what is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line?
Answer: Correct answer: Explanation: First rearrange the equation so that it is in slope-intercept form, resulting in y=2/3 x + 14/9. The slope of this line is 2/3, so the slope of the line perpendicular will have the opposite reciprocal as a slope, which is -3/2.
