Q. Line q has a slope of 3−2. Line r is perpendicular to q. What is the slope of line r?Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer._____
Find Reciprocal: Line q's slope is −32. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.
Flip Slope: To find the reciprocal, flip the slope of line q. So, the reciprocal of −32 is −23.
Get Opposite: Now, take the opposite of −23 to get the slope of line r. The opposite of −23 is 23.
