Question
Lines p and q are perpendicular. If the slope of line p is 2, what is the slope of line q?A.-2B.2C.D.-
Solution
The slope of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other. This means if the slope of one line is 'm', the slope of the line perpendicular to it would be '-1/m'.
Given that the slope of line p is 2, the slope of line q (which is perpendicular to p) would be '-1/2'.
