What has to be true about the slopes of two perpendicluar lines that's neither vertical?
The slopes are negative reciprocals.
How do you know if two non-vertical lines are perpendicular?
They are perpendicular if their slopes are mutual negative reciprocals.
What do you call two lines with opposite reciprocal slopes?
perpendiculars("Opposite" is a pretty arbitrary condition in math. The slopes are negative reciprocals.)and by negative that person means the opposite of what it is already, negative or positive, it's not always negative
What are the slopes of perpendicular lines?
Negative reciprocals of one another.
What are the slopes of the hyperbola's asymptotes?
If a hyperbola is vertical, the asymptotes have a slope of m = +- a/b. If a hyperbola is horizontal, the asymptotes have a slope of m = +- b/a.
What has to be true about the slopes of two perpendicluar lines that's neither vertical?
The slopes are negative reciprocals.
How do slopes of perpendicular lines compare?
Slopes of perpendicular lines will be opposite reciprocals. This means that the slopes have opposite signs and that one is 1/ the other. For example, 2 and -1/2.
How do you know if two non-vertical lines are perpendicular?
They are perpendicular if their slopes are mutual negative reciprocals.
What is the definition of a slope of parallel lines?
Horizontal lines have a slope of zero, and the slope of vertical lines is undefined. Parallel lines have equal slopes, and perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. So we can say that: Two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Two lines are perpendicular if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That is, if the slopes are m1 and m2, then: m1 = - 1/m2 or (m1)(m2) = -1
What can you say about the slopes of two non-vertical perpendicular lines?
They are negative reciprocals Ex -1/2 and 2
If two lines are their slopes are negative reciprocals?
If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.

How many slopes do vertical lines have?
The slope of a vertical line is undefined. The slope of a horizontal line is 0. Hope this helps.
When is the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines not equal to -1?
When the perpendicular lines are horizontal and vertical.
If two lines are parallel what do you know about their slopes?
If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.(And if they are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is minus one - unless one line is horizontal and the other vertical.)
Lines that are perpindicular have slopes that are?
negative reciprocals of each other
What are the slopes of perpendicular lines?
Negative reciprocals of one another.
