Question

What is the slope of any line perpendicular to the line passing through `(-14,25)` and `(0,20)`?

Answer 1

`14/5`

Explanation:

First find the slope of the two given points and that is the change in `y`-coordinates over the change in `x`-coordinates.

`(20-25)/(0-(-14)) = -5/14`

Therefore, the slope of the line by the two given points is `- 5/14` and any arbitrary line perpendicular to this slope would be the negative reciprocal, which is `14/5`
