The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is -2/7 is

-2/7
-7/2
7/2

Respuesta :

The answer is 7/2. Hope this helps

Answer: 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the property of perpendicular lines says that the product of slopes of two perpendicular line is -1 .

Let m be the slope of line which is perpendicular to the line with slope [tex]\dfrac{-2}{7}[/tex]

Therefore by the property of perpendicular lines we have

[tex]m\times\dfrac{-2}{7}=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\dfrac{7}{2}[/tex]

Hence , the The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is -2/7 is 7/2.
