The slope of a line is -3/2

What is the slope of any line perpendicular to this line?

Solution:

the slope of a perpendicular line will be of the opposite polarity and the inverse of the original slope: if the slope is 'm' then the slope of a perpendicular line is -1/m

we have a slope m = -3/2

the slope of the line perpendicular line is then

(-1)*(1/(-3/2)) = 2/3
