Rhombus PINE has vertices on the coordinate plane. If the slope of diagonal PN = 1/2 , then the slope of the other diagonal, IE = ____. Type a numerical answer in the space provided. If necessary, use the / key for a fraction bar. Do not type spaces in your answer.

Answer:

The slope of the other diagonal is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The diagonals in a rhombus are perpendicular

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

In this problem

[tex]m_p_n*m_i_e=-1[/tex]

we have

[tex]m_p_n=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

substitute

[tex]\frac{1}{2}*m_i_e=-1[/tex]

therefore

[tex]m_i_e=-2[/tex]
