To find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the given line, we first need to determine the slope of the given line.
The line passes through the points (−5, 3) and (0, −7).
Steps to Find the Slope:
Calculate the slope (m) of the given line using the formula:
where () and () are the coordinates of the two points.
Substitute the given points into the formula:
Point 1: (
