The equation of line xy is (y-3)= -2/3(x-4).what is the slope of a line perpendicular to xy?

a) -2

b) 3

c) -2/3

d) 2/3

will be the slope of the line perpendicular to xy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line xy is ( y-3 ) = (x-4)

y = ( x-4 ) + 3

y = x + + 3

y = x +

So the line has slope = and y-intercept = .

Let m is the slope of a line perpendicular to line xy.

We know that for perpendicular lines having slopes m₁ and m₂

m₁ × m₂ = -1

Therefore, for m₁ = m and m₂ =

mx () = -1

m = ()

will be the slope of the line perpendicular to xy.

the answer i believe is 27 units.
