Respuesta :
The points (2,6) (-4,-7) have a slope of 13/6 which satisfies the perpendicular condition option (B) is correct.
What is the slope?
The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).

The question is incomplete.
The complete question is:
Line L has a slope of -6/13. The line through which of the following pair of points is perpendicular to L?
A) (6,-4) (-7,2)
B) (2,6) (-4,-7)
C) (6,9) (-4,-4)
D) (13,-4) (-7,2)
Line L slope m = -6/13
If two lines are perpendicular:
(m)(m') = -1
(-6/13)(m') = -1
m' = 13/6
From the points given finding the slope of every point:
A) (6,-4) (-7,2)
[tex]\rm m' =\dfrac{2+4}{-7-6}[/tex]
m' = -6/13
B) (2,6) (-4,-7)
[tex]\rm m' =\dfrac{-7-6}{-4-2}[/tex]
m' = 13/6
Thus, the points (2,6) (-4,-7) have a slope of 13/6 which satisfy the perpendicular condition option (B) is correct.
