Math Problem Statement
shelby was tutoring her sister over equations of perpendicular line. she presented the graph below what is the slope of the given line
Solution
In order to determine the slope of the given line, I will need to either see the graph or be provided with the equation of the line. Could you upload the graph or provide more details?
Let me know if you need assistance!
Five Follow-up Questions:
- How is the slope of a perpendicular line related to the original line's slope?
- What is the general equation of a line in slope-intercept form?
- Can you identify two points on the given line to calculate the slope?
- How do you interpret negative slopes on a graph?
- What happens to the slope of a line when it becomes vertical or horizontal?
Tip: The slope of a line perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

Formulas
Slope formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Perpendicular line slope: -1/m (where m is the slope of the original line)
Theorems
If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1.
