If a line on a graph is rising as it goes from left to right, it has a positive slope. If it is falling from left to right (or rising from right to left) it has a negative slope. If it is horizontal, it has a slope of zero.

Would perpendicular lines have negative or positive slopes?
I believe they have Negative Slopes as stated by my Geometry Book. "Perpendicular Lines Have Slopes Which Are Negative ___"
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
Can two lines both have negative slopes and still be perpendicular?
Yes, as long as the negative slopes are both equal.
If the lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals?
If you have two lines that have negative recipricals (1 and -1 for example), the lines are perpendicular.
What has to be true about the slopes of two perpendicluar lines that's neither vertical?
The slopes are negative reciprocals.
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.
What pair of slopes could represent perpendicular lines?
Negative reciprocal slopes always represent perpendicular lines.
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other then they are if they have slopes that are the same then they are?
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel

If the product of the slopes of two lines equals negative 1 then the lines?
Are perpendicular.

The slopes are negative reciprocals.
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.
If the slopes of two lines are negative reciprocals the lines are perpendicular. true or false?
true (APEX)
