The slope of the line perpendicular to the segment AB is 1/4
Explanation:The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.
Given the endpoints A(-8.1, 4.9) and B(-7.6, 2.9), the slope of this line is as follows:
(2.9 - 4.9)/[-7.6 - (-8.1)]
= (2.9 - 4.9)/(-7.6 + 8.1)
= -2/0.5
= -4
The negative reciprocal of -4 is 1/4
Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to the segment AB is 1/4
