Answer:
(a) 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m of the line given using the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0,3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2)
m = [tex]\frac{2-3}{3-0}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{3} }[/tex] = 3 → (a)
