line m in the xy-plane above is to be reflected through the x-axis. if the slope of line m is 2/3,whats is the slope of the image of line m under the reflection.

The new slope is -(2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that our line can be written as:

y = (2/3)*x + b

where b is the y-intercept, and here does not really matter.

Ok, remember that if we have a point (x, y) and we reflect it over the x-axis, the new point will be (x, -y).

For our linear equation, the point (x, y) can be written as:

(x, y = (2/3)*x + b) = (x,  (2/3)*x + b)

Now, after the reflection, our point is:

(x, - ( (2/3)*x + b)) = (x, -(2/3)*x - b)

Then our new line is y = -(2/3)*x - b

The new slope is -(2/3)
