Answer:

u = -7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is correct because to find the perpendicular, you need to find the opposite reciprocal of the slope. In this case, the slope is 4/7, so the opposite reciprocal is -7/4.

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle m_u=-\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular Lines

If two lines t and u are perpendicular and have slopes mt and mu respectively, then the following relationship is satisfied:

[tex]m_t\cdot m_u=-1[/tex]

Knowing line t has a slope of \frac{4}{7}, then the slope of line u can be found by solving for mu:

[tex]\displaystyle m_u=-\frac{1}{m_t}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle m_u=-\frac{1}{\frac{4}{7}}[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\mathbf{\displaystyle m_u=-\frac{7}{4}}[/tex]
