The lines shown below are perpendicular. If the green line has a slope ofş, what is the slope of the red line?10O A. -རྒྱ་B.nim+551015-5O c.O D.WN10 - class=

Answer :

From the statement we have two lines, one red and the other green, which have the following properties:

A) the lines are perpendicular,

B) the green line has a slope:

[tex]m_g=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Because the lines are perpendicular, their slopes satisfy the following equation:

[tex]m_g\cdot m_r=-1_{}[/tex]

Replacing the equation from (B) we find that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m_r\cdot(-\frac{2}{3})=-1 \\ m_r=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer

The answer is option C. 3/2
