anonymous one year ago The lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is 2/3 , what is the slope of the red line? http://media.apexlearning.com/Images/200706/18/8ec58dbc-0f97-4779-8ac6-4e3ce2e61ca4.gif m= please help i am new to this.

perpendicular lines means that when you multiply the slope of line 1 and slope of line 2 you will get -1 $m_1 \times m_2 = -1$ say slope of green line = m1 this means that: $\frac{ 2}{ 3 } \times m_2 = -1$ divide both sides by 2/3 to find m_2 (slope of red line)

so what i mean is: $m_2 = -1 \div \frac{ 2 }{ 3} = ?$

no real solutions .
