Lines J and N are perpendicular. The slope of line J is 5. What is the slope of line N?

-1/5. The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is always -1. (..unless one line is vertical and has infinite slope)

To find the slope of line N when lines J and N are perpendicular, we need to use the fact that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

Let's start by finding the negative reciprocal of the slope of line J. The negative reciprocal of a number is found by taking the negative sign inverse or opposite) of the number and then taking the reciprocal or flipping the fraction.

The slope of line J is 5.

To find the negative reciprocal of 5, we first take the opposite of 5, which is -5. Then, we take the reciprocal of -5, which is -1/5.

Therefore, the slope of line N is -1/5.
