A landscape architect is designing two walking paths modeled by the linear equations 5x+4y=1{}5x + 4y = 1 and 4x+5y=3{}4x + 5y = 3. After determining that the slopes of these paths are βˆ’54-\frac{5}{4} and - rac{4}{5}, the architect verifies if the paths meet at a right angle. Which of the following statements correctly recalls the product of these slopes and explains why the paths are NOT perpendicular?
