take the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the line in the problem, (6,3) (7,7) slope = 4, so the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/4

the slope of the line connecting the 2 points is the rise (3-7) over the run (6-7) = 4
a line perpendicular would have a slope of:
-1/4

First find the slope of the line that goes through 6,3 and 7,7 which is 4, and we know that the slope of a perpendicular equation is the opposite of the reciprocal: so 1/4, then -1/4 is your answer

First, you need to find the slope of the line through the two points. If this slope is m, the slope of the perpendicular line will be - (1/m).

slope(m) = delta of y / delta of x... m = replace in y / replace in x m = y(subscript)2 - y(sub)one million / x(sub)2 - x(sub)one million (6,3)...x,y sub1.....(7,7)...as x,y sub2 m = (7 - 3) / (7 - 6) m = 4 / one million m = 4

m= y2-y1 / x2-x1
m= 7-3 / 7-6
m = 4/1
m = 4
